COMMENTS ON THE BROADVIEW ANTHOLOGY OF BRITISH LITERATURE, COMPACT EDITION: ""much more inclusive of a variety of voices and perspectives than are comparable anthologies. This edition provides both quality and quantity at an affordable price for students."" -- Jessica Evans, Columbia State Community College ""offers an excellent mix of texts supported by the accessible and insightful introductions we have come to expect. The online materials are a helpful resource for students and teachers alike, and the anthology is reasonably priced. Most of all, I have found Broadview excerpts and abridgements to be particularly good, opening new possibilities in the classroom."" -- Davide Carozza, Georgetown University My favorite thing about the Broadview is the short and readable introductions ... [A]ll the most essential works in my period-specific courses are here, and that's to say nothing of the extra texts provided online. Establishing strong links between texts and the specific cultures that produced them is what sets Broadview apart."" -- Gabriel Lonsberry, Jacksonville State University

""Sleek and pragmatic, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, Compact Edition gathers the foundational texts essential to the British survey, together with an exciting selection of the overlooked and unsung, all economically introduced and annotated. Dr. Jekyll is included in full, and there is very little missing from English lyric poetry from the Romantics to Heaney. Present too are favorites of short fiction from Joyce, Mansfield, Rushdie, Ishiguro, and Smith. Add to this the affordability of the book itself, and you have some idea of the merits of this anthology."" -- David Adkins, Northwest Nazarene University ""Three aspects set these volumes apart from their competitors: the strength of the introductory and contextual material, the well-written and thorough footnotes, and the incorporation of visuals. The editors have chosen texts with care, including authors of color as well as women writers."" -- Dr. Jennifer Lodine-Chaffey, Montana State University Billings ""This edition is more than just a survey of English literature. ... This volume has succeeded in bringing literary and historical elements into a reliable, well-researched, organized ""one-stop shop"" for British literature instructors."" -- Matthew Childres, Western Piedmont Community College ""a wonderful compilation, carefully curated with the college survey student in mind. The anthology includes a diverse selection of both standard and unique pieces. The comprehensive and engaging period introductions invite students into significant literary histories and movements paramount to understanding major works[, and] the quality annotations provided throughout the text offer students meaningful support for challenging material. I look forward to introducing this newest Broadview anthology to my British Literature students"" -- Cheryl Saba, Cape Fear Community College
