Longman Anthology of British Literature, Volume 1 3 ed

* Generous coverage of fiction, drama, and poetry alike. Major prose works are included in their entirety, together with a wealth of poetry and drama, from More's Utopia and Swift's Gulliver’s Travels to Alan Sullivan and Tim Murphy’s highly regarded translation of Beowulf and Shakespeare’sThe Tempest—and beyond.
* Cultural breadth. Regional as well as metropolitan perspectives, religious as well as secular writing, popular as well as elite productions, classic works, newly recovered texts, and Irish, Welsh, and Scottish writers all combine to represent the full scope of the british literary tradition.
* Women's writing. Extensive selections from a wide range of writers, fully integrated in each period, include such writers as Margery Kempe, Lady Mary Wroth, Katherine Phillips, and Hester Salusbury Thrale Piozzi.
* “Perspectives” sections. These groupings shed light on the period as a whole and link with immediately surrounding works to help illuminate a theme. For example, a Perspectives section on Government and Self-Government follows More's Utopia.
* “…and Its Time” sections. These shorter groupings show major works in the context of their own era. For example, "Piers Plowman and Its Time: The Rising of 1381."
* TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE. An Audio CD-ROM includes spoken word and musical selections of important British literary texts that appear in The Longman Anthology of British Literature, each introduced by General Editor, David Damrosch.
