Norton Anthology of Literature by Women (Boxed set, Volumes 1 and 2)

This book is really cool, but it's missing pages 225-88. Why.

I am in Oregon and using these book for my college classes. I was a bit worried at first that the books would be different or the material would not be located in the same place as the books you might find somewhere else. However my books arrived on time and I was very happy to find that the books were in exceptional condition. They were also a great price and for online shopping arrived in an very timely manner. I would recommend ordering these books if you need them.

This anthology was a bit hit-and-miss with me. I loved the newer selections of writing, but found some of the older stuff to be, well, dated. That could just be a matter of taste though, and there's a lot to like in these anthologies.Like all Norton anthologies, the introductions are great and helpful in finding common ground with some of the older stuff. I bought these for a college class, and kept the on my bookshelf afterwards, so that's saying something.

This product is absolutely fantastic. All of the poems and stories were important and classical. My only problem is that they included the entirety of Jane Eyre in one of the volumes, which took up a lot of space and paper. I would have preferred just shorter stories/poems.

This anthology has been invaluable as a literature major at a small private university. I am happy to say that this is one volume I would not consider selling back at the end of the semester! Wonderful selection of both contemporary and past authors that have written on a variety of topics. I would highly recommend this edition to all! The headnotes on each author are fabulous additions to each text as well that grant the reader historical context for each selection.One thing that sets this anthology apart is the inclusion of authors not traditionally used in canonical works!

My mom got this for her college literature class and she said she enjoyed reading it

This book was required for my college course. Even so, it is surprisingly worth reading for those interested in women authors and their works. It has a sampling of most eras, including modern. It also includes a mini-bio of each author. It includes excerpts from novels, short stories, essays, speeches, and poems.

These are the required books for my class in literature this term. I am enjoying the information and the pieces that are written in these books. They are a little expensive, but what good books aren't? I really like them and am glad I bought new and not rented, so I could make my on marks in them as I see fit.

Perfect condition!
