With adoptions at over 1,300 colleges and universities in its first semester; the Seventh Edition of The Norton Anthology of English Literature continues to be the indispensable anthology. Like its predecessors, the Seventh Edition offers the best in English literature from the classic to the contemporary in a readable, teachable format. More selections by women and twentieth-century writers, a richer offering of contextual writings and apparatus fully revised to reflect today's scholarship make the Seventh Edition the choice for breadth, depth, and quality.
For the first time ever, the acclaimed Norton Anthology of English Literature is available in six separate volumes, each of which cover a specific period of English lit and focus on the wide range of writers and literature, with full annotation and commentary. Adapted unabridged from the full Norton Anthology, this volume is ideal for focused study or specific coursework in the period.

A limited anthology.:
Volume 1A: The Middle Ages contains a lot of great selections. A good Beowulf translation, selections from The Canterbury Tales, an enjoyable translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Dream of the Rood, and selections from Morte D'Arthur, Julian of Norwich, and Margery Kempe among them. But the anthology lacks depth and a real representation of the period it deals with. This first volume covers the period from around A.D. 700 to about 1450, by far the longest time frame in any of the six volumes... more info
Norton Knows How to Do It:
This was great! And a lot cheaper then having to buy the giant version with everything in it. I have many different editions of the Norton Anthologies and this one is on par with all the rest. Definitely recommended! 5 Stars!! Great explanations and citations!
