For me, Norton is one of the top publishers around, and this is an excellent anthology. Very nice edition - something I know I'll use either for reference or just some fun.

This is one of the books I need to read for my studies. A must-have, excellent source of information since not only pure English literature is included but comments and explanations as well.

I read it; I taught it. Good choices of lit, for the most part.

A good anthology of English language literature. Norton has done a good job adding more women writers with each edition. The introductions with the historical summaries are very helpful for putting texts into context.
