The apparatus you trust
Norton Anthologies set the standard for editorial help that is right for undergraduate readers. In the Ninth Edition, all apparatus has been freshly considered and updated - period introductions and headnotes, annotations and glosses, bibliographies, appendixes, and maps - with the goal of making these aids to reading and understanding as helpful as possible. Instructors will especially welcome the glossary, "Literary Terminology," which has been extensively reworked to be more intuitive and helpful for undergraduates.
Visually rich and dynamic
Over 120 new black-and-white illustrations and 75 color plates (12 new) enrich and contextualize the selections in the book. In addition, black-and-white engravings and illustrations by Hogarth, Blake, Gillray, and Rossetti provide examples of the hybrid art of the "visual narrative." The new edition boasts a fresh, more modern display font and period-opener design that subtly refreshes the look of the page, while retaining its readability.
