Purchase options and add-ons

Responding to major shifts in literary studies over the past thirty years, The Longman Anthology of British LIterature was the first collection to pay sustained attention to the contexts within which literature is produced, even as it broadened the scope of that literature to embrace the full cultural diversity of the British Isles. Within its pages, canonical authors mingle with newly visible writers; English accents are heard next to Anglo-Norman, Welsh, Gaelic, and Scottish ones; female and male voices are set in dialogue; literature from the British Isles is integrated with post-colonial writing; and major works are illumined by clusters of shorter texts that bring literary, social, and historical issues vividly to life. Volume 2B focuses on the literature of the Victorian Age.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good value
    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2011

    I decided to buy this textbook online and keep it because an anthology can be a useful reference when writing papers. When I get to class I realized that I was able to buy this book new and have it next day delivered to my house using Amazon Student for the same price as most of my classmates had bought a falling apart used copy for. It is important for me to have it delivered because I work full time and take night classes and would never make it to the campus book store before it closed anyways. If you are an English major who actually keeps and enjoys their books, just buy from Amazon.

    This is a text book. These review options do not apply. It would be nice for Amazon to develop a review chart for text books. I'm not going to say that a huge anthology is "suspenseful." There are hundreds of stories in it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about the Victorian era and its poets/novelists
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 16, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This anthology is a must for anyone interested in Victorian Literature as it contains all the famous Victorian poets/novelists and some absolutely wonderful coloured photographs of Victorian paintings. I purchased the gold coloured '3rd Edition,' (1st published 28 December 2005) which is excellent and sold at a much reduced price. The red 2nd Edition (published 2002) is much older and around the same price so obviously the 3rd edition is better value. I cannot fault this wonderful anthology - highly recommended.
