Longman Anthology of British Literature, The, Volume 2 (4th Edition)

The Longman Anthology of British Literature was the first collection to pay sustained attention to the contexts within which literature was produced.  Canonical authors are presented alongside newly visible authors.  New to this edition, informative fact sheets open each volume providing an easily digestible glimpse of life during each period.  The up-to-date introductions and notes are written by an editorial team whose members are all actively engaged in teaching and in current scholarship.
