"Obviously i have not read every page. But i refer to it on occasion to read and re-read some of my favourite poetry. A very comprehensive set, which took me AGES to save up for, and my course was only 6 months from finishing by the time i got my own copies. Ah well. Money well spent. I keep returning to those wonderful Romantics, particularly Keats and Shelley (or is that Sheets and Kelley??), and Blake. I also love Tennyson, and the Pre-Raphaelites--though I don't think there is enough Pre-Raphaelite content in the Norton because of the prodigious literary output of the Victorian period."
"Textbook for Lit 211 - Dr. Donaghe (RIP) - the first time I EVER earned a D on a test in a Literature class, so the NEXT test, I studied for a week, 2-3 hours a day and earned an A-.
"The only university book I ever kept. It covers the Romantic Period (1785-1830; Burns, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Coleridge), which I so loved, through the Victorian (1830-1901; John Stuart Mill, Robert Browning, Wilde), and on on through the Twentieth Century (Housman, Auden, and...not much else. :). Good stuff. I love the Brits."
"A strong sampling of the best of EngLangLit but with a decided dead white-guys slant. Norton has added to there overview texts since I read this and now have good representation of women and minorities."
