Review Quotes:
Comments on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: The Restoration and the Eighteenth Century
"After years of cobbling together [materials] for my one-semester Restoration and Eighteenth-Century British Literature course, I have been prompted by the availability of this new volume to return to using an anthology. The volume balances the urge for comprehensiveness with a judicious selectivity. ... The introduction is lucid, smart, and current." -- Brian Connery, Oakland University
Comments on The Broadview Anthology of Literature
" ... sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British literature will now have to be measured." -- Graham Hammill, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
" ...After twenty years of teaching British literature from the Norton anthologies, I'm ready to switch to the Broadview. The introductions to each period are key to teaching a survey course, and those in the Broadview seem to me to be both more accessible to students and more detailed in their portraits of each era than are those of the Norton. And Broadview's selection of authors and texts includes everything I like to teach from the Norton, plus a good deal else that's of real interest." -- Neil R. Davison, Oregon State University
