Customer Reviews

The best anthology money can buy!

The Entire Norton collection is a must-own for anyone, especially though interested in reading the classics. It includes every piece of "important" literature ever written, with very detailed, well-written commentaries and footnotes to help you understand the historical setting of the piece. I bought them for class last year and have never regretted it. I am thinking of getting the American set next.

Excellent anthology for old to middle English literature

This is a great anthology. If you are buying this book, chances are you are taking a class that requires it. If you are looking around just for fun at books to buy, this is a great anthology that includes writings such as Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Canterbury tales, etc.
