| Publisher Description: KEY BENEFITS: Responding to major shifts in literary studies over the past thirty years, The Longman Anthology of British Literature was the first collection to pay sustained attention to the contexts within which literature is produced, even as it broadened the scope of that literature to embrace the full cultural diversity of the British Isles. KEY TOPICS: Within its pages, canonical authors mingle with newly visible writers; English accents are heard next to Anglo-Norman, Welsh, Gaelic, and Scottish ones; female and male voices are set in dialogue; literature from the British Isles is integrated with post-colonial writing; and major works are illumined by clusters of shorter texts that bring literary, social, and historical issues vividly to life. MARKET: For everyone that would like a fresh approach to the study of British Literature. |
