Review Quotes:
"As someone who has taught with the BABL Concise Edition, Volume A, since it first came out in 2007, I am very pleased to see that it remains (in my view) the best available choice for teaching one and two semester survey courses in early British literature. ... The 4th edition updates are thoughtful and timely, and have me considering a refresh of my survey course." -- Michael McClintock, Bridgewater State University
"Featuring first-rate historical and cultural introductions, ... this edition will serve both students and instructors extremely well." -- Randy Schiff, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
"This volume continues Broadview's excellent work in the field and stands as a testament to the necessity of well-developed textbooks for advanced literary study." -- J H Taylor, Metropolitan State University of Denver
"The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, Concise Edition, Volume A, is a strong confluence of history and literature--perfect for understanding the cultural forces that shape writing. Readers also have access to topics not usually seen in general anthologies, such as 'Nature and the Environment, ' contemporary illustrations, as well as audio selections. Everyone should hear Beowulf read in Old English." -- Dr. Nancee Reeves, University of Georgia
