Description
KEY BENEFIT With its first edition, The Longman Anthology of British Literature created a new paradigm for anthologies. Responding to major shifts in literary studies over the past thirty years, it was the first collection to pay sustained attention to the contexts within which literature is produced, even as it broadened the scope of that literature to embrace the full cultural diversity of the British Isles. KEY TOPICS The revision of Volume 2C, "The Twentieth Century," includes major additions of important works by Carol Ann Duffy, a new contemporary play, and coverage of contemporary British fiction featuring short stories by the well known popular authors of today. New selections by already well represented authors are included, such as Thomas Hardy, T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, Philip Larkin, Seamus Heaney, and Derek Walcott. MARKET: For anyone interested in twentieth century British Literature.
