The Anglo-Saxon selection is greatly improved: the translations now are all in verse, and give much more sense of the originals as poetry. Some changes are an ambiguous blessing: we now get the whole of Utopia, which sounds like a good idea, but is more than most teachers will want to include in a survey class (so now we have to do our own selections instead). Other changes are a big mistake, like the new text of Margery Kempe - haphazardly semi-modernized, and really unusable.The best thing, apart from the Anglo-Saxon selection, is the new font, which is bigger and clearer than that of the 8th ed. For choice of texts, I'm inclined to prefer the 6th ed., which included more from the Canterbury Tales (the beautiful Franklin's Tale), and the 7th ed., which included some strange and wonderful Ranter writing - very briefly fashionable in academia. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great books, often heavy, necessary for English Majors. *by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017* Honestly, these Amazon questions about this book are kind of irrelevant because this is a collection of early British literature; there are a lot of stories in this set. I used this as my text for Intro to Early English Literature. We read a lot of stories. I plan on keeping this book set because I am an English Major, and it's great for reference and historical anecdotes. I have had to purchase Norton Anthologies before and my biggest complaint was how big and bulky they are. I would have to carry it to class every day, but not ever need more than 30 pages in any one lecture. That's a lot of weight to my backpack, and I'm not a young student. I've seen students carry multiple large copies around for different English classes! This version though came broken up into three different sections, and I liked it much better because then I could just take the necessary volume to class and not lug around as much weight. ### ⭐ Rented and was only sent Volume A *by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021* I decided to try renting the book I need for my class instead of buying it, and am sorely disappointed. Instead of receiving the described item, I only received Volume A, The Middle Ages. Thankfully I ordered it early enough, and hopefully I can get the copy I need before my class begins next week. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1210632-the-norton-anthology-of-english-literature-ninth-edition-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1210632-the-norton-anthology-of-english-literature-ninth-edition-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
