Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 820.8 EAN: 9780321333971 Edition: 3rd ISBN: 0321333977 Label: Longman Manufacturer: Longman Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 2963 Publication Date: February 17, 2006 Publisher: Longman Studio: Longman Editorial Review: Product Description: Following the first and second editions, which created a new paradigm for anthologies,this new third edition continues to respond to major shifts in literary studies over the past thirty years. This anthology was the first to pay sustained attention to the contexts within which literature is produced. Within its pages, canonical authors mingle with newly visible writers and major works are illuminated by clusters of shorter texts that bring literary, social, and historical issues vividly to life. This third edition continues to benefit from an editorial team whose members are all actively engaged in teaching and in current scholarship, and an abundance of new illustrations which show both artistic and cultural developments from the medieval period to the present.

Rating: - A great anthology!I'm using the Longman Anthology of the Romantics and their Contemporaries (3d edition) for the first time in my 3d-year Romantics course (enrolment 88 and counting!) -- I would like to thank the editors for doing a fantastic job -- the introductory essay (pp. 3-29) is truly unparallelled for clarity, scope, and intelligence -- absolutely filled to the brim with great, challenging ideas. The headnotes provide a meaningful, detailed historical background. Excellent, well annotated selections -- the notes ...
