Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship, the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials. Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, \u003cem\u003eThe Broadview Anthology of British Literature\u003c\/em\u003e has established itself as a leader in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter has been edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e For the third edition of this volume a considerable number of changes have been made. Newly prepared, for example, is a substantial selection from Baldassare Castiglione's \u003cem\u003eThe Courtier\u003c\/em\u003e, presented in Thomas Hoby's influential early modern English translation. Thomas Kyd's \u003cem\u003eThe Spanish Tragedy\u003c\/em\u003e is another major addition. Also new to the anthology are excerpts from Thomas Dekker's plague pamphlets. We have considerably expanded our representation of Elizabeth I's writings and speeches, as well as providing several more cantos from Edmund Spenser's \u003cem\u003eFaerie Queene\u003c\/em\u003e and adding selections from Sir Philip Sidney's \u003cem\u003eArcadia\u003c\/em\u003e. We have broadened our coverage, too, to include substantial selections of Irish, Gaelic Scottish, and Welsh literature. (Perhaps most notable of the numerous authors in this section are two extraordinary Welsh poets, Dafydd ap Gwilym and Gwerful Mechain.) Mary Sidney Herbert's writings now appear in the bound book instead of on the companion website. Margaret Cavendish, previously included in volume 3 of the full anthology, will now also be included in this volume; we have added a number of her poems, with an emphasis on those with scientific themes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The edition features two new Contexts sections: a sampling of \"Tudor and Stuart Humor,\" and a section on \"Levellers, Diggers, Ranters, and Covenanters.\" New materials on emblem books and on manuscript culture have also been added to the \"Culture: A Portfolio\" contexts section. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e There are many additions the website component as well--including Thomas Deloney's \u003cem\u003eJack of Newbury\u003c\/em\u003e also published as a stand-alone BABL edition). We are also expanding our online selection of transatlantic material, with the inclusion of writings by John Smith, William Bradford, and Anne Bradstreet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Of the ten general editors, \u003cstrong\u003eJoseph Black\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAnne Lake Prescott\u003c\/strong\u003e have focused on volume 2 particularly; they are professors at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) and at Barnard College, respectively. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Our Editorial Team: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Joseph Black, University of Massachusetts\u003cbr\u003e Leonard Conolly, Trent University\u003cbr\u003e Kate Flint, University of Southern California\u003cbr\u003e Isobel Grundy, University of Alberta\u003cbr\u003e Roy Liuzza, University of Tennessee\u003cbr\u003e Jerome McGann, University of Virginia\u003cbr\u003e Anne Prescott, Barnard College\u003cbr\u003e Barry Qualls, Rutgers University\u003cbr\u003e Claire Waters, University of California, Davis \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1201\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.4 x 7.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 14, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47469125271730,"sku":"9781554812905","price":115.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/c5876c367b8550b0260679e85e5386f0.webp?v=1779064865","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-broadview-anthology-of-british-literature-volume-2-the-renaissance-and-the-early-seventeenth-century-third-edition-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
