New Updates
Students using The Norton Anthology of World Literature for Fall 2003 classes will have access to contextual materials that will enrich their reading and inform their interpretive work. A series of full-page, annotated color plates have been added to the anthology to help students draw connections between the text they are reading and the cultural and artistic milieu in which it was produced. Seven new online Discovery Modules combine editorial essays, images, discussion questions, and links to external sites to open up texts and themes in the anthology.
