| Abstract |
"Judiciously selected from the full Broadview Anthology of British Literature, this Compact Edition distills the full sweep of British literature into a single volume. The most essential works and writers are represented—from Beowulf to Zadie Smith—with enough breadth to offer instructors flexibility without overwhelming students. The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is acclaimed for its inclusiveness and its deep attention to literature’s historical and cultural contexts, reflecting the latest scholarship in British literary studies. The anthology is structured to meet the needs of today’s students, with an unparalleled selection of illustrations and contextual materials, accessible and engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations that serve to support readers’ appreciation and understanding of British literature. The second edition features several authors new to the bound portion of the Compact anthology—among them Phillis Wheatley, Mary Shelley, Angela Carter, and Chimamanda Adichie. Also new to the bound book are several exciting omnibus sections addressing topics such as “The Supernatural and the Occult” in the early modern era, “Modernism and Modernity,” and recent work by poets such as Imtiaz Dharker, Patience Agbabi, Harry Josephine Giles, and Warsan Shire. While the bound-book portion of this second edition is even more streamlined than the first, the anthology’s website component continues to grow, offering instructors a truly extraordinary range of options in the selection of authors and works. Among the materials new to the website for this edition are omnibus sections on early modern exploration and colonization, and on Enlightenment thought; also new are facing-column translations of portions of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, with versions in modern English appearing opposite the original text."-- Provided by publisher. |
