With 274 authors, the Eighth Edition deepens its representation of essential works in all genres, ranging from Seamas Heaney's award-winning translation of Beowulf, Milton's Paradise Lost, and More's Utopia to the great poets and prose writers of the nineteenth century—Blake and Austen, Wordsworth and Byron, Tennyson and Barrett Browning—to twentieth-century classics of a truly global English literature—Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Woolf's A Room of One's Own, Achebe's Things Fall Apart, and Friel's Translations, to name but a few. Color plates—over 75 in all—and thematic clusters of brief and historically significant texts bring to life the cultural concerns of each period. Concise glosses and annotations, period introductions, biographical headnotes, timelines, and selected bibliographies help readers understand and enjoy the rich diversity of English literature.

 Rating:  - The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume 2This book was a purchase for an English class; however, it contains some awesome poetry. Rating:  - English Lit.I think that this product had a little more highlighting and damage done to it than described. But the damage might of been done in shipping and handling. Other than that it was usable. Rating: - Wonderful...Needed item for school. Great idea to be able to purchase both volumes at a discounted price. Rating: - ThanksI received the book before the time stated, which is always appreciated, and it was delivered in perfect condition. Thanks. Rating: - Incredibly but TrueI bougth this book out of necessity, because is obligated for my English class this semester. It turn out to be pretty good. It is all poetry from the romantic period to our time. It has great writers, so as T. S. Eliot and more. I got to admmit it thought it will be dull but I was wrong. It is a great book. One thing is for sure, half the poems that I read so far are all related to death, for some reason.
