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
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
COMMENTS ON VOLUME 5: THE VICTORIAN ERA
Victorian print culture in all its diversity is on display in this handsomely illustrated anthology. Indeed, the number of fresh illustrations makes this volume stand out from its competitors. Undergraduate students will find their expectations about fusty Victorians overturned by a little-known photograph of a grinning Queen Victoria on the first page of the introduction. Instructors will find their teaching options widened by useful contextual material and by the supplementary website, which includes extra primary and secondary material. The anthology's selections amply represent canonical authors (often more fully than competing anthologies), but also include important works by women writers such as Grace Aguilar, Susanna Moodie, Mathilde Blind, Augusta Webster, Amy Levy, Charlotte Mew, and Vernon Lee. I am happy to recommend this volume to other instructors. - Mary Elizabeth Leighton, University of Victoria
