The Fourth Edition of The Longman Anthology of British Literature, Volume 1A, The Middle Ages and Volume 1B, The Early Modern Period, continue their tradition of presenting works in the historical context in which they were written. This fresh approach includes writers from the British Isles, underrepresented female authors, “Perspectives” sections that shed light on the period as a whole and link with immediately surrounding works to help illuminate a theme, “And Its Time” clusters that illuminate a specific cultural moment or a debate to which an author is responding, and “Responses” in which later authors respond to one or more texts from earlier works.0205753736 / 9780205753734 Longman Anthology of British Literature, Volume 1A and 1BPackage consists of:0205655300 / 9780205655304 Longman Anthology of British Literature, Volume 1A, The: The Middle Ages0205655327 / 9780205655328 Longman Anthology of British Literature, Volume 1B, The: The Early Modern Period
