Editorial Reviews
“Broadview has done an exquisite job in assembling this exceptional and exhaustive collection.”
Nat Hardy
“Sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British literature will now have to be measured.”
Graham Hammill
“The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is a marvelously rich anthology with many complete, well-annotated works, a better representation of important figures than any of its competitors, fascinating ‘cultural portfolios,’ real attention to book-and print-culture, and great examples of transatlantic and postcolonialist literatures.”
Elizabeth Hodgson
“With the publication of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies from Norton and Longman. Having adopted the first two volumes for an early period survey course last year, I had no hesitation in repeating the experience this year. The medieval volume, in particular, is superb, with its generous representation of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman literary culture, as well as its growing collection of texts from the too little-known fifteenth century. This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement.”
