About this title

From the Author:

Too often, debate in the "culture wars" of recent years have assumed that there is an essential conflict between study of classics of earlier centuries and contemporary, multicultural writings. The Longman Anthology of British Literature shows that either/or choices do not need to be made: British literary culture has always been characterized by a dynamic mix of cultures -- English, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish. The great classics of British literature have come out of a rich cultural ferment that has always included popular as well as elite productions, women's writing as well as men's, secular as well as religious writing, regional as well as metropolitan perspectives, here seriously represented for the first time in a major anthology.

From the Back Cover:

The first new anthology of British literature in 25 years, The Longman Anthology of British Literature presents the varieties of British literature within the dynamic cultural landscape of the British Isles.
