The Norton Anthology of Literature by Women: The Traditions in English

This anthology has been invaluable as a literature major at a small private university. I am happy to say that this is one volume I would not consider selling back at the end of the semester! Wonderful selection of both contemporary and past authors that have written on a variety of topics. I would highly recommend this edition to all! The headnotes on each author are fabulous additions to each text as well that grant the reader historical context for each selection.One thing that sets this anthology apart is the inclusion of authors not traditionally used in canonical works!

These are the required books for my class in literature this term. I am enjoying the information and the pieces that are written in these books. They are a little expensive, but what good books aren't? I really like them and am glad I bought new and not rented, so I could make my on marks in them as I see fit.

I read some of the reviews and was anxious to order them, but I am glad I did. They both came in a boxed set as listed in the description. I am very satisfied.

I deducted half a star for the physical weight and font size, but this remains the most academically rigorous women’s literature anthology available. Ideal for educators, book clubs, or anyone seeking a substantive survey of women’s writing

I rented this for a class and only Volume 1 came. I NEED VOLUME 2 as well! I should have read the reviews saying that it wasn't a boxed set. I am VERY disappointed and I am going to demand the other one be shipped to me soon.

This book is really cool, but it's missing pages 225-88. Why.

I purchased these books for my college class that I'm taking, and they arrived not only on time, but also in perfect condition. Basically brand new! I'm very pleased.

Great product with wonderful literature. I used for college course.
