Review Quotes:
Comments on British Literature: A Historical Overview
"It is very hard to condense a period's historical, cultural, political, and literary background in such a way as to engage and inform students and instructors alike. Broadview not only rises to that challenge; it succeeds magnificently. ... These introductions are compelling and readable, informative and smart. One could not ask for a better overview of the major periods of British history!" -- Amy Montz, University of Southern Indiana
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
