The Norton Anthology of World Literature

These books have been great for class work and also learning about literature outside of the United States. I’ve read stories outside of my scope of work

The book arrived quickly. My son, who is using the book for school, said the book is in good condition. No issues.

Great edition with interesting plays, poetry and stories.

If you are looking for a text book with literature worth keeping for your future as a teacher after completing college, this is not what I find being one of them. It does not hold anything you are likely to be teaching to your students. These writers and authors are foreign writers whom you are likely to have never heard of because my professor had only heard of maybe a quarter of those whom we read--and he has a doctorate in world literature. The ones I personally know well are Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy--19th century Russian authors--who are in this. You might know some of these others, but this is world literature, and the point is to broaden you to new writers. I'll let you decide on whether or not to keep it after your class.

I bought this for my English course. I suggest buying the rent, the book quality is fine except for people putting notes in it lol.
