The Norton Anthology of English Literature, the Major Authors

The cover of this book depicted does not match, it’s a completely different edition.

The book is in good shape other then the stain

Unfortunately, I never received the book. For some reason, my order was cancelled without my knowledge.

I got the wrong book I received the 16th and early 17th century volume 8.

I specified that I was ordering Ninth Edition Middle Ages with all three volumes of this anthology. I was sent Eighth Edition of the Victorian Age which isn't even close to what I ordered or need.

the picture for the version i bought showed volume 2, which was the one i wanted, but i received volume 1 ):

It edition #7, it fails to mention that in the title

Excellent comprehensive book of early British Literature. Excellent information and background on authors and time periods.

Great transaction. Brand new book for a low price. The condition respected the information of the seller. Really fast shipping.

I found the book in plenty of time for my next class, still in the shrink wrap, and at a great price!!

If books can lead us to whole new worlds, the NAEL leads us to a whole new universe. This is a book that, just as it contents do, truly transcends time. There is so much education, information, and beauty in this book, that it is not a expenditure as much as it is an investment. This is a book that can fit into any mood you may have on a day to day basis. From the tragic action of Beowulf to the sentiment of Milton to the comedy of Chaucer. This is a book for a lifetime, not a semester. Pundits who criticize NAEL for it's "perceived" over coverage of poetry, are being short-sighted and unappreciative. One should not question the quantity of literature, but the quality. Those same people would probably criticize Dickens and Steinbeck for being too "wordy".This book is a must-have for anyone with the smallest amount of passion for English Literature!
