The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, Volume 4: The Age of Romanticism - Tapa blanda

Praise for The Age of Romanticism: " ... I am very impressed.... A wealth of cultural and historical information is provided.... The introductions show subtle expertise.... Here, as in the other volumes, the editors bring English literary tradition to life." -- Wendy Nielsen, Montclair State University Comments on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: " ... sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British Literature will now have to be measured." -- Graham Hammill, SUNY Buffalo "With the publication of the Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies by Norton and Longman. ... This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement." -- Nicholas Watson, Harvard University " ... an excellent anthology. Good selections for my purposes (including some nice surprises), just the right level of annotation, affordable--and a hit with my students. I will definitely use it again." -- Ira Nadel, University of British Columbia

New to the second edition of volume four of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature are works of short fiction by Mary Shelley ("The Mortal Immortal"), James Hogg ("The Expedition to Hell") and Matthew "Monk" Lewis ("The Anaconda"). Thomas Paine appears in the anthology for the first time, and Sir Walter Scott is now included in the bound book rather than the website component; a Scott short story ("The Eve of St. John") has been added. Other additions include Blake's "The Song of Liberty," several poems by Anna Letitia Barbauld, and "Contexts" sections of background materials on "The Natural, The Beautiful, and the Sublime" and "The Industrial Revolution.
