Description

The two-volume Broadview Anthology of British Literature, Concise Edition provides an attractive alternative to the full six-volume anthology.

Though much more compact, the concise edition nevertheless provides a thoughtful balance between well-established canonical authors and a diverse array of lesser-known works.

Guided by the latest scholarship in British literary studies, the anthology is committed to inclusiveness, social responsibility, and contextualization.

The anthology skillfully balances the representation of widely-agreed upon major works with a thoroughgoing reassessment of the canon that emphasizes diversity, variety, and breadth.

With an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials, accessible and engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations, the concise edition of this acclaimed Broadview anthology provides focused yet wide-ranging coverage for British literature survey courses.Among the works now included for the first time in the bound book of the concise edition are poems by Gwerful Mechain, selections from Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, Samson Occom's autobiography, and selections from Samuel Richardson's Pamela and Frances Burney's Evelina.

There are also new omnibus sections - including an expanded 'Culture: A Portfolio' section with material on theater and crossdressing, a revised section on 'Other Lands, Other Cultures' in the early modern period, and new omnibus sections addressing 'The Enlightenment,' 'Slavery and Resistance,' and 'Britain in the Eighteenth-Century World.'As before, the Concise edition includes a substantial website component, providing instructors with a great degree of flexibility.

New to the Concise Edition are a selection from The Táin, Mary Rowlandson's complete narrative, Aphra Behn's The Rover, selections from Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews, substantial selections from Ottobah Cugoano's Thoughts and Sentiments, and an omnibus section on the environment in the early modern period.

Also new to the website are additional tales from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in facing-column format, with versions in modern English included opposite the original text.
