The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Volume 6: The Twentieth Century and Beyond

Guided by the latest scholarship, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is acclaimed for its inclusiveness and its deep attention to literature’s historical and cultural contexts. The Broadview is structured to meet the needs of today’s students, with an unparalleled selection of illustrations and contextual materials, accessible and engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations. The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with a substantial website component, greatly expanding the range of texts that are available to teach. Many longer works are also available from the publisher in separate volumes that may at the instructor’s request be bundled together with this anthology. For the convenience of those whose focus does not extend to the full period covered in Volume 6: The Twentieth Century and Beyond, the volume is now available either in its original one-volume format or in an alternative two-volume format, with Volume 6a (The Early Twentieth Century) extending to the end of WWII, and Volume 6b (The Late Twentieth Century and Beyond) covering the postwar period to the present century.

Comments Comments on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: The Twentieth Century and Beyond: “[The Twentieth Century and Beyond] is better [than the competition] on cultural and social contexts, in its introductions, in its number and quality of images and in the choices of texts beyond the classic ones. … Overall, the Broadview Anthology is an immensely attractive one—adventurous and very wide ranging.” — Enda Duffy, University of California, Santa Barbara 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 “ …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 “Norton’s intros are good; Broadview’s are better. … If you have not considered the anthology for your courses, I recommend that you do so.” — Robert J. Schmidt, Tarrant County College “ …I have been using The Broadview Anthology of British Literature for three years now. I love it—and so do my students!” — Martha Stoddard-Holmes, California State University, San Marcos
