　　The classic survey of English literature in a vibrant new

　　A legendary bestseller for more than forty years, The Norton
Anthology of English Literature is the classic survey to the field
from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. With more than
ninety authors, the Major Authors Edition deepens its
representation of essential works in all genres, ranging from
Seamus Heaney’s award-winning translation of Beowulf and
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night to the greats of the nineteenth
century–Blake and Wordsworth, Tennyson and Barrett Browning–to
twentieth-century classics of a truly global English
literature–Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Woolf’s A Room of One’s
Own, poetry by Derek Walcott, and prose by Nadine Gordimer and
Salman Rushdie, to name but a few. Color plates–over seventy-five
in all–bring to life the cultural concerns of each period. Concise
glosses and annotations, period introductions, biographical
headnotes, timelines, and selected bibliographies help readers
understand and enjoy the rich diversity of English
literature.
　　Synopsis:
　　Read by millions of students over seven editions, The Norton
Anthology of English Literature remains the most trusted
undergraduate survey of English literature available and one of the
most successful college texts ever published. Firmly grounded by
the hallmark strengths of all Norton Anthologies–thorough and
helpful introductory matter, judicious annotation, complete texts
wherever possible–The Norton Anthology of English Literature has
been revitalized in this Eighth Edition through the collaboration
between six new editors and six seasoned ones. Under the direction
of Stephen Greenblatt, General Editor, the editors have
reconsidered all aspects of the anthology to make it an even better
teaching tool.
