As with Volume A, The Norton Anthology of English Literature is a comprehensive collection of mid century English literature.

Truly the only unfortunate thing about it is the size: it is horrendous to carry around!

This has a lot of interesting history of the period, as well as an introduction to the different genres and writers.

Not something I would have read right now if I didn't have to read it for class, however, the Norton Anthologies never disappoint me.

Unpopular opinion: Canon = another word for overrated.

But the editing team did a great job with the writers' biographies and introductions.

Is it too dorky, that I actually wished the Milton part was much, much longer?

The material in this anthology has a fantastic array of 16-17 c. works. I really wish it didn't feel like the book would fall apart in my next reading, though...
