Good selections for my purposes (including some nice surprises), just the right level of annotation, affordableand a hit with my students. I will definitely use it again.” Ira Nadel, University of British Columbia.

"Book A in a two-part anthology, and many of my favorite British authors are not included, but hopefully appear in Volume B" according to J. Hardin. This is a text book, so the evaluation categories of the book regarding the plot, mood, pace, and characters are not applicable. It is a compilation of many different works of classic British literature. As far as the selections included, I am disappointed. There are no selections from some of the most well known and well loved British authors. Missing from this anthology are the following authors: Alfred Tennyson, T. H. White, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Shelley, George Byron, Jane Austen, George Eliot, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, . Great, Dense Anthology; Pages are very THIN be careful Amazon Customer A dense anthology of British literature, with amazing content. A must read for avid fans of poetry, prose, epics, essays, and plays.Has great page annotations, translations (even original writings!).Only issue, to me, is that the pages are incredibly thin like tissue paper, so be careful it's way easier to rip than a normal book's pages.. J. H. said Great!. Great book - lots of great works included. This is a book I will hold on to and pass on to my kids.
