[Thijmen Sijtsema]

The Norton Anthology of World Literature Third Edition, edited by Peter Sage, is the most complete and highly refined English literary classic of all time. It is perhaps one of the three works in the English language that are absolutely authoritative on the literary art of the century, the others being the poetical Aesop's "The Marriage of Figaro" and the epic poem "The Battle of Alcazar".

It is also one of the three books of the Century, which is regarded as the benchmark against which all subsequent English literary writing is measured. The Norton Anthology of World Literature Third Edition, however, goes even further than these other two great works. The book contains more than two hundred eighty rare translations and sixty-five previously unpublished manuscripts. And the caliber of these resources leaves little to be desired.

The editors of the Norton Anthology of World Literature Third Edition make certain that their edition remains true to the spirit of the original work while presenting it in a much more convenient format. There are no longer any blank pages in the text and all footnotes are numbered. Additionally, there are new introductions, an entirely new survey of earlier writers, a look at current writing styles, and a thorough bibliography. While the third edition does not contain the long letter to Sir Walter Scott, this is a minor point compared to the wealth of information it covers.

The Norton Anthology of World Literature is truly a book of astounding depth and richness. The editor's personal knowledge of the works included not only confirms their authenticity but infuses a new light on their authors as well. The reader will be surprised at how deeply the author's ideas and life's work are revealed through the telling of his relationships, his cultural influences, and his place in the European culture of his day. This is truly a work of art, and those who have not yet read the entire book should do so with the utmost caution, for the revealing insights it contains are extremely important and may affect your own thinking.
