I purchased this book for a class, but was delighted to discover that I will definitely want to hang onto it afterwards. The translations chosen for the 'Ancient World' portion are, for the most part, delightfully vivid and capture the spirit of the original language. I also like the layout - the margin size is just perfect for taking notes.             The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume 1: The Middle Ages through the Restoration and the ...10 reviews W. W. Norton, 2005 Ahh! Get a cup of tea, find a cozy spot, and settle in... If you're a book lover, how can you not love a book like this? It was my required reading for a literature class, and I was all too happy to have an excuse to buy it.

For me, this was worth getting just ...             The Norton Anthology of Short Fiction12 reviews R. V. Cassill W. W. Norton, 2005 Great anthology, but one minor complaint about this edition Yet another wonderful Norton anthology, but I have only one disappointment: this "shorter seventh edition" excludes "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, which was in the "shorter sixth edition." This is a classic short story and I can't quite get my head around as to why they chose to omit this of all stories from this edition. :-( This was one (of many) reasons I ordered this book-- I didn't ...             The Norton Anthology of English Literature (Single-Volume 8th Edition)5 reviews W.

Norton, 1997 A Real Masterpiece Great reading on those quiet Sunday evenings. The historical perspectives and timelines are the best part; really helps you understand the progression of literature as we know it. The Norton series (western literature) was used often in highschool for me, but I had quite narrow historical perspectives back then; this book has helped change that. I would also recommend Glimpes of World History by ...             The Norton Anthology of American Literature, Shorter Seventh Edition, One-Volume Paperback (Norton Anthology)1 review W. W.
