The Norton Anthology of Poetry - OLD EDITION

Product Information

Bibliography example: Kafka, Franz, Metamorphosis and Other Stories, trans. by Michael Hofmann (London: Penguin, 2007), Kindle ebook In the footnote reference, the author name should be first name followed by surname. The bibliography needs to be arranged alphabetically by author surname, so always reverse the name of the first author in the bibliography reference. Because these poems were obviously all written in English (although several different varieties of English), with the exception of a couple of poems written in Scots (e.g. Robert Burns’s), I won’t bother writing up a breakdown of nationality. You can probably guess it’s mostly British and American poets, I trust. What does interest me, however, is the disparity between gender, i.e., poems by men versus poems by women, and specifically the inclusion of women poets. Complicating this calculation somewhat are the anonymous lyrics and popular ballads, most of which either did not have a singular author but rather evolved from folk tradition or had a singular author but said author’s personal information has long since been lost to the sands of time. There are four collections of these particular verses: anonymous lyrics of the thirteenth- and fourteenth centuries (4); anonymous lyrics of the fifteenth century (13); popular ballads from roughly the fourteenth- and fifteenth centuries (15); and anonymous poems of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, around the sixteenth century (9). Those will not be included in any specifically gendered calculations; possibly they spontaneously generated from a volcano, or something. Who’s to say.

If there is no author or editor, list the source by title, ignoring initial definite or indefinite articles.

In the footnote reference, the author name should be first name followed by surname, e.g. Virginia Woolf. The bibliography needs to be arranged alphabetically by author surname, so always reverse the name of the first author in the bibliography reference, e.g. Woolf, Virginia. Subsequent authors should be first name followed by surname. Firstname Lastname, Book Title, trans. by Firstname Lastname (Place of publication: Publisher, Year), p. x. These books weren’t published as a series, so there is no overarching series title. To refer to the books collectively, provide a footnote the first time you mention one of the books in your text. In this footnote put the full reference details for each book individually (separate them with a semicolon), and at the end of the list write the following: The titles of works of literature occurring within article titles should be italicized or placed within double quotation marks, to differentiate. Quotations from literary works which occur as part of the article title should also be enclosed in double quotation marks, as in the example of Saunders (right).

Another option was the "Major Authors" edition. Compressed into the single volume was a selection of major authors of each period, from the anonymous author of Beowulf to J. M. Coetzee.

The Norton Anthology of Poetry has been in existence for almost fifty years, and during that time the way its audience experiences poetry has changed dramatically. Readers now expect to use their ears as much as their eyes when they encounter poetry; hearing poems read out loud deepens both readers’ enjoyment and their understanding.

Once upon a time, I ran into an Tenured Professor of English who taught me how to read poetry, for the first time, in my entire life. urn:lcp:nortonanthologyo00canp:epub:8dc1052d-a8dd-4e81-b176-06adaaf632b8 Extramarc NYU Bobcat Foldoutcount 0 Identifier nortonanthologyo00canp Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4pk1k52k Isbn 0393952428 Lccn 83013231 Ocr ABBYY FineReader 8.0 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.7 Ocr_module_version 0.0.13 Openlibrary OL3171053M Openlibrary_edition The Norton Anthology of English Literature is an anthology of English literature published by W. W. Norton & Company, one of several such compendiums. First published in 1962, it has gone through ten editions; as of 2006 there are over eight million copies in print, making it the publisher's best-selling anthology. [1] M. H. Abrams, a critic and scholar of Romanticism, served as General Editor for its first seven editions, before handing the job to Stephen Greenblatt, a Shakespeare scholar and Harvard professor. The anthology provides an overview of poetry, drama, prose fiction, essays, and letters from Beowulf to the beginning of the 21st century. The bibliography should be arranged in one alphabetical sequence - by the first author's surname - and should appear at the end of your document. At the end of the day, there is still a lot of good material in this book. I definitely understand why it is useful as a teaching tool; a good professor (such as the one for whom's class I bought this book) nullifies the most—if not all—of the text's problems. In the right context, The Norton is a useful one-stop-shop for many of English's great poems.The anthology appeared in 1970 and is in its sixth edition, a volume which includes 1,871 poems. [3] The book has been seen as representing a canon. For example, the inclusion of Bob Dylan (whose " Boots of Spanish Leather" was anthologized before he won the Nobel Prize in Literature) was cited as evidence of the acceptance of his credentials as a poet. [4] If the play is anonymous (as is the case with some older plays), do not use 'Anon.' Instead start the reference with the title of the play. The ninth edition continues to be sold in the same format as the eighth edition. [3] 10th edition [ edit ] The third edition of the Norton Anthology of Poetry, published in 1983, was my mother’s when she was studying English. It was also one of the first anthologies of poetry I read in English, when I was maybe five or so (I don’t remember the exact year, but I was definitely in the single digits). I’d definitely credit this anthology with being instrumental in my appreciation for good poetry, particularly because—as an academic text—it showed me how good poetry can do things to you. To move on from that loooong digression, readers of the 5th edition will also notice that 2 lengthy and tremendously informative sections on Versification and Poetic Syntax have been replaced by a glossary and some new online materials. The loss is sad--nobody will read a glossary the same way they will read an engaging and informative piece of text, and because this book is aimed for novices in college courses, the information there was surely valuable.

Lastname, Firstname, Book Title, trans. by Firstname Lastname (Place of publication: Publisher, Year) There is also a new section called "American Song" which is pretty boring and has no place in a Poetry anthology. Lin Manuel Miranda is NOT a poet. Sorry. A poem is not a picture, a poem is not a short story in prose, and a poem certainly is not the lyrics to a song. There were so many important poets who were sacrificed in this newer edition and their sacrifice is in vain. No self-respecting reader can claim that a "poem" which is more than 50% improvised scatting has any place in this anthology. And yet, it "diversifies the canon" at the expense of the reader's enjoyment. Footnote examples: Sylvia Plath, ‘Daddy’, in Collected Poems, ed. by Ted Hughes (London: Faber and Faber, 1981), pp. 222-24 (p. 222), ll. 2-4.The seventh edition of The Norton Anthology of English Literature comprises six volumes, sold in two sets of three. The first set includes the volumes "The Middle Ages", "The Sixteenth Century and The Early Seventeenth Century", and " Restoration and the Eighteenth Century"; the second set includes "The Romantic Period", "The Victorian Age", and "The Twentieth Century and After". The writings are arranged by author, with each author presented chronologically by date of birth. Historical and biographical information is provided in a series of headnotes for each author and in introductions for each of the time periods.
