a useful anthology receiving unwarranted criticism,
Von
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Norton Anthology of English Literature: 2 (Gebundene Ausgabe)
For some as-yet unknown reason, I feel compelled to defend the Norton Anthology against the various charges being brought against it here. So far, it's been accused of being a tool for "academically lazy" professors, [essentially] a superfluous moneygrubbing update, and something which (somehow) renders authors "boring." Another person feels that it's too poetry- and essay-heavy to be representative of the covered periods.I'll confess that I don't really understand these accusations. It is both what it looks like and what it claims to be: 3,000 pages with as much bang for your literary buck as is possible. The only novels included are those which are exceedingly important and/or representative of a period... which is as it should be. And frequent updates (which take place every few years -- hardly a serious issue for most people) are absolutely necessary. A static canon would be boring, and likely would leave scholars with nothing to do. I, for one, am happy with the authors added in the seventh edition. <shrug> It's an outstanding introduction to two centuries of English lit.

A disappointing edition of a famous book,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Norton Anthology of English Literature: 2 (Gebundene Ausgabe)
I'm a university professor who has taught the _Norton Anthology_ for years, and bought it this year with high hopes for the new edition. I was greatly disappointed to see that all that seems to have happened was more and more was added and little was taken away--the book has long since gone past being ridiculously oversized, and while the expansion of the canon can be commended insofar as now many female writers and writers of color have been added, there should have been some omissions to balance the extra page length. Do students in an introductory survey really need Walter Savage Landor, Arthur Hugh Clough, or Ernest Dowson? And even if they are one teacher's personal favorite, might they not then be photocopied by that particular teacher to add to her or his class?The headnotes and historical introductions are also much too lengthy to be of much use to students coming to this material for the first time. Finally, the inclusion of _Things Fall Apart_ to this edition was a very poor choice: while a work by a novelist of color was greatly appreciated, a shorter work more oriented towards the problems of the British postcolonialism per se (such as Naipaul's _In a Free State_ ) would have been much more useful than Achebe's overassigned novel.

It's the best! But buy it in hardback!,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Norton Anthology of English Literature: 2 (Taschenbuch)
Since this is a book you will want to have around for a lifetime, because you will want to refer to it over and over, why not get the hardback version? Believe it or not, it only costs a buck and a quarter extra!
