These anthologies present comprehensive views of literature from Old and Middle English (600-1485), through the Renaissance (1485-1660), the Restoration, the Romantic Period (1789-1832), and beyond. These books provide the texts for some of the greatest British writers of all time, including Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, and many others. Read on.
