I quarrel even more with some of the choices in this volume than in volume one (there's more Eng Lit to quarrel about, period), but it's still a good place to start.

I actually really liked almost of all the works in this anthology. I love the Norton Anthologies.

Textbook for Lit 211 - Dr. Donaghe (RIP) - the first time I EVER earned a D on a test in a Literature class, so the NEXT test, I studied for a week, 2-3 hours a day and earned an A-.
HE taught me to be a real Literature major.

Again, haven't read the whole thing. This was for British Writers II, which I liked a bit better than I.

I enjoyed most of the author introductions, though some of the information felt irrelevant. I got a kick out of some of the footnotes. Some were completely redundant, and made me feel like this book caters towards middle or high schoolers. Other than that, this is a relatively comprehensive book about British literature from the Romantic Period to the 20th century (includes many works from important authors).

this is actually my textbook for a british lit class, but i have fallen in love with it. the selections are wonderful, and the introductions and footnotes are all clear and useful. i suppose i have a love-hate relationship with most of the romantics, but i found myself leaning towards loving them somehow--though perhaps that had more to do with the class itself.

Very comprehensive and really enjoyed having secondary information in the book too.
