Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Norton Introduction to Literature (Hardcover)
Now not all +2000 pages is literature, but the rest is about defining terms and examples for writing. I loved this book immensely and can say that more colleges should use this text and edition. The lay out was perfect and the collection of works was fabulous. This textbook I did not sell back and I have used it for other English classes, it's just that darn awesome.
