Críticas

"The simple fact is that a major work of student-centered scholarship has arrived in the field of English studies, and The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is no mere pretender to the throne long held by the Norton: it is the new standard." -- Richard Nordquist, Armstrong Atlantic State University on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature "Broadview's recent Anthology of British Literature is an exciting achievement. Broadview has accomplished what no other anthology to date has been able to do.... Its introductory essays and useful appendices successfully reflect current scholarship while remaining student-centered.... With an impressive selection of literary works, an equally impressive collection of visual images, and an exemplary emphasis on print culture and history of the language, The Broadview Anthology not only rivals the Norton and the Longman, it sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British literature will now have to be measured." -- Graham Hammill, University of Notre Dame on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature "The Broadview edition of The Waste Land and Other Poems seems to me an excellent text for classroom use. Students will appreciate the notes, which provide helpful and straightforward guidance not only on literary allusions but on such no-longer-familiar details of everyday life as 'sprinkled streets, ' curl papers, and putting one's 'shoes at the door.' The introductory material is clear and informative, and the contextual material gathered in the last section of the book would enrich any course on modernism." -- David Chinitz, Loyola University, Chicago "[This edition provides] a truly impressive density of contextualizing materials that will help open Eliot's first three books of poetry to twenty-first century conversations. The annotations to The Waste Land in particular are thorough without being obtrusive, and the new materials on anti-Semitism and gender are spot on." -- Michael Coyle, Colgate University (author of Ezra Pound, Popular Genres, and the Discourse of Culture)

Reseña del editor

This stand-alone volume offers Eliot's most important work accompanied by a substantial selection of other poetry, annotated and with introductory and supplementary material closely based on that found in The Broadview Anthology of British Literature.
