The Longman Anthology British Literature, Vol-1C

"The Longman Anthology of British Literature ... [initiated] a tradition of presenting works in the historical context in which they were written. This fresh approach includes [a representative range of well-known] ... writers from ... [Britain and Ireland]; underrepresented female authors; 'Perspectives' sections that shed light on the period as a whole and link with immediately surrounding works to help illuminate a theme; [as well as] 'And Its Time' clusters that illuminate a specific cultural moment or a debate to which an author is responding; and 'Responses' in which later authors respond to one or more texts from earlier works." ... "Volume 1C: The Restoration and the 18th Century ... is a comprehensive and thoughtfully arranged anthology that offers a rich selection of major British authors throughout the Restoration and the 18th Century. The book includes ... sections which show how major literary writings interrelate with and respond to various social, historical, and cultural events of Great Britain in the 18th Century. With a generous representation of fiction, drama, and poetry. ... [The] introductions and notes are written by an editorial team whose members are all actively engaged in teaching and in current scholarship, and illustrations show both artistic and cultural developments of the period" -- The Editorial Reviews excerpted here refer to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
