carolina gallardo: El pack es casi una ganga. Es lo que me esperaba, porque ya tenia el volumen C. Pero las paginas y la tapa son muy finas, hay que tener mucho cuidado manejando el libro. Además de forrarlo en cuanto te llegue.

Cliente Amazon: It's really comprehensive and extensively covers the most important authors of the whole English History. The introductions to each periods and to each work anhtologized are clear and useful. But there aren't in-depth liettrary text analysis on the particular extracts inserted (which are in a great number) in the anthology but they go anyway along with tralstaion notes and other comments. It s till remains a mainstaple in literature studies if you want to know the history and the evolution of the literary production during the centuries of the English (UK) culture.

Shopping King Louis: A packed-full compilation of great texts separated in three books according to their chronological and literary periods.

There is nothing to fault the actual texts. However, the physical format of the books should be improved. The pages are wafer-thin, much like pages in the bible. They tear easily when being flipped hurriedly. The Norton Anthology is primarily aimed at students, but such thin pages are not student-friendly; notes cannot be written as they show through the paper and stain the pages underneath. Squeezing in so many works into a single book also makes it heavy and cumbersome to carry around, not to mention how easily it gets damaged when being transported frequently in a rucksack.

It is a shame that Norton has not done what it easily could, which is to make a few tweaks such as separating dense books into smaller volumes and printing on thicker paper, that would otherwise make the Anthology a perfectly accessible and enjoyable read.
