The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces walks readers through approximately one hundred and twenty works of literature from a plethora of topics, authors, and time periods, all contained in one volume. Published in 1980 by the W.W. Norton and Company, INC., this is the fourth continental edition to come off the New York, New York printing presses. The anthology, completed by Maynard Mack and his editorial associates, comes in at a staggering 2601 pages, during which, readers are introduced, or at minimum, familiarized with famous works such as “The Old Testament,” “The Apology of Socrates,” “A Simple Heart,” and “The Renegade,” to name a few. Mack and his team make it clear that they are interested in showcasing these foreign works to a Western audience. The anthology covers foreign works from ancient to modern times. Specifically, pieces from Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Gaelic, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish and Yiddish cultures are represented. In these works we see all different types of literature.

From books, to essays and poetry, all of the bases are covered.This image represents the cover of the The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces.Readers can quickly become overwhelmed with the size of the book’s contents; however, the editorial team, led by Mack, made organization key. Broken down into chronological order, the stories are told through time which puts each historical era into its properly placed section. Starting with the earliest works, these pieces are categorized into the first section “Masterpieces of the Ancient World.” This section’s first piece of literature, taken from the Bible’s “The Old Testament,” is the oldest work in this anthology. It also includes writings from ancient Greece and Rome, and showcases the works of Plato, Aristotle, and Homer, amongst other famous ancient authors. Evidence of the book’s organization can be found in each of the sections’ concept headers.This picture shows the organization and examples of the contents of the anthology.Following the works from ancient times, the world’s literature shifted with the eras.

The compilation’s next section, “Masterpieces of The Middle Ages,” features Latin works from more famous authors such as Saint Thomas Aquinas and the Archpoet. As we move along in time, we hit the rebirth of literature in “Masterpieces of the Renaissance.” Like the beautiful changes in time itself, these Italian masterpieces display the works of Francis Petrarch, Miguel De Cervantes, Niccolo Machiavelli and more.

As time continues to progress forward, so does literature. “Masterpieces of Neoclassicism,” the anthology’s next section, encompasses the era known as the Age of Reason or the Enlightenment. It shines light into the world of France and the writers who call it home. Some, like author Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Moliere, ring a more familiar tone than others featured by this section’s works. As we shift further into time, we come upon a new era that is portrayed by the section titled “Masterpieces of Romanticism.” This section continues with the Eastern European literature style that includes French and German writers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau or Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe.Moving into the book’s final two compilation sections, new styles come into play as the eras continue to mature as the turn of the nineteenth century came into view. This century, deemed “the greatest change to the Western Civilization” (1827), also brought change in the world of literature. The book’s second to last section, “Masterpieces of the Nineteenth-Century Realism and Naturalism,” presents Italian, Russian, and Polish writing styles to name a few.

The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces walks readers through approximately one hundred and twenty works of literature from a plethora of topics, authors, and time periods, all contained in one volume. Published in 1980 by the W.W. Norton and Company, INC., this is the fourth continental edition to come off the New York, New York printing.

Authors such as Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov, and Gustave Flaubert exhibit their works to the world. Finally, as the nearly 3000 pages draw to a close, so does our last section. “Masterpieces of the Modern Age,” although not so “modern” by today’s standards, it takes the readers from the turn of the century though the late 1970’s. Authors like Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, and Albert Camus bring a greater sense of author to reader familiarity to this not so distant time period.Overall, the decision by Mack and his editorial staff to take their organizational approach to these masterpieces is hard to question. Logically, the ability to transition from work to work seemed to be taken into account.

The organization itself was key in telling the story of these works through time. As the book progresses, the works start with ancient Roman and Greek literature and spread as literature grew into other parts of the world. In this anthology, foreign works ranging from the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, and Russia are viewed by the Western world we happen to call home.

The pieces of literature contained in this book adequately capture not only the eras through time, but also how the works themselves were affected in writing style from place to place. Both the “modern” century’s works and the pieces contained in “Masterpieces of Nineteenth-Century Realism and Naturalism” show authors that hail from a variety of locations all over the world.This picture shows works from “Masterpieces of Nineteenth-Century Realism and Naturalism” and “Masterpieces of the Modern Age” sections of the anthology.When reading the anthology one may wonder, “what’s the point?” Luckily the editors were very clear in their aims in creating this book.

The preface of the book states exactly what the authors wanted this book to hold.This picture shows the first page of the preface section of the book.This preface, “Preface to the Fourth Edition,” tells readers the works contained in this anthology are only writings from ancient and modern foreign languages as seen from a Western view point. It states this edition holds key additions over its previous publishing’s, which include the ancient world, middle ages, romantics, and the moderns. This book also introduces readers to important new authors of their respective time periods and new translations as well. For example, the introduction of Euripides’ work, Hippolytus. In any society, studying, understanding, and ultimately teaching others their culture is often a difficult task.

The editorial staff added great flexibility into this edition to increase readers’ ability to comprehend each work of literature throughout the continental Europe. Emphasis was placed by Mack and his staff into adding a new set of modern authors; no fewer than six writers from the modern era were added to the updated edition. These new authors include, Isak Dinesen, Anna Akhmatva, Andre Brenton and Paul Eluard; Vladimir Nobokov, and Bejamin Peret. Additionally, Mack and the editorial staff set to revamp the selection of writings included in the newly defined “Masterpieces of Romanticism.” With this, they removed earlier pieces that include, as they state, “scattering of lyric poems from diverse authors in favor of Buchner’s great play, Woyzeck” (xv). The editorial staff regrets the removal of the some of the lyric poetry; however, they deemed it necessary to not go as far as removing the genre completely. Their solution, remove a larger section of these works while placing a greater emphasis on a select few.

This decision added depth to the readers experience with authors like Catullus, Ovid, Pertarch, Baudelaire, Rimbaud and Mallarme.Overall, the editors’ aims to provide an efficient and effective collection of literature which educates readers on foreign works ranging from ancient through modern times from a Western standpoint was achieved. In doing so, Mack and his editorial staff scrutinize each masterpiece to provide, what they felt, are the best selection of pieces to capture the essence, time period, and general era each fall under. In turn, this gives students a full spectrum of literature to study. Given the size of the 2000 plus page collection, it seems nearly impossible for readers to not find at least one work of literature they can become infatuated with.Works citedMack, Maynard.

Dozens of new selections and translations, all-new introductions and headnotes, hundreds of new illustrations, redesigned maps and timelines, and a wealth of media resources all add up to the most exciting, accessible, and teachable version of the Norton ever published.' .Covers ancient literature, lots of myths and Greek plays.A good compilation of works.

Because all people taking world lit classes are American and have absolutely no idea that there are other countries of the world, right?.eye roll.After stating that “by following a consistent pattern of presentation” (shouldn’t all textbooks do that?), they say “The mere presentation of an anthology—page after page of unbroken text—can feel overwhelming to anyone.”. WHAT ARE BOOKS THEN???? If books are not page after page of (mostly) unbroken text, WHAT ARE THEY?????They also discuss how “Literature. Also presents us with whole imagined worlds to which we as readers can travel.” YOU MEAN THERE’S SUCH A THING AS FICTION?!??!?.mind blown. Before I get to my thoughts on this new edition, and how it compares to the one before it, I'd just like to say that after this edition came out, I tried to sell an extra copy I had of the second edition to a used book store.

These anthologies, when they are new, cost around $70 on Amazon, more at campus bookstores, but their resale value? Take a guess! Wrong, wrong wrong. I was offered $3 for a mint condition 2nd edition at my local campus bookstore. When a 3-volume compilation of the greatest works of literature takes a 90% nosedive in value just because a new edition has emerged, something is wrong with the market.

I've already lamented the omnipresence of Norton on college campuses in my other reviews of these anthologies, but my recent experience with trying to resell an old edition gave me new insight to just how exploitative the student textbook industry is of students (trillion dollar student loan bubble, anyone?). Most ancient texts are available free online - professors should consider using them instead, or, even better, having students buy used copies of each work (despite what many think, this actually works out to be about the same money as a Norton anthology for an average semester's courseload, and comes with the added benefits of more sophisticated translations/introductions, and of students realizing that literature does not descend to us from the Great God Norton.)Moving on: First, the positives. The format of the third edition is easier on the eyes, and the introductions to the texts are written in more accessible language. I found all of the introductions to be generally more helpful to students, and some of the new translations are truly transformative (especially the new translation of Gilgamesh). More of an effort has been made to include works by women (like Pizan's City of Ladies), and Boccaccio's Decameron has been expanded, to the delight of those of us who love a good Italian countryside sex story during the Bubonic Plague.That said, some disturbing politics of the anti-sex, pro-Christian variety appear to be in play in this new edition. The section of Gilgamesh with the story of Noah (problematic for Jews/Christians because it implies that the Bible isn't original to the Hebrews) has been mysteriously removed from the anthology.

In the section on Ancient Egyptian poetry, the most interesting poem (wherein the narrator tells a girl he's caught a fish, only to show her his penis - an ancient Egyptian version of middle school humor) has been removed. And Chaucer's 'Miller's Tale,' the most ribald of all the Caterbury collection, has been cut.Other problems include the fact that only the play 'Agamemnon' is included from the Orestia which makes it difficult to teach. This edition also does not include pronunciation guides, meaning students and teachers alike will be struggling to refer to difficult names/places with any clarity or consistency. There are also a good number of typos, which seems to be common with these anthologies in general. There are many things I love about Norton anthologies: they provide excellent historical and biographical context for each piece, the timelines and footnotes are helpful, and they always have a great variety of literature.

Though, I would caution that the introductions often contain a lot of spoilers for the pieces themselves and should be read with caution if you are reading for enjoyment.In this volume, there were several pieces I found interesting that without this anthology I never would have discovered such as 'The Tale of Sinuhe' and really everything from Zhuangzi and Sima Qian.

There are so many really great pieces that even over 2000 years later can still be related to.The only downside I found with the selections was in the completed longer works. Over half of the longer complete works provided are Greek dramas. This unfortunately narrows the variety of longer pieces provided and, for those of us that see Greek drama as really angsty fanfiction, is thus a massively missed opportunity to include some much stronger and more influential pieces. Out of the remaining 3 longer pieces provided, most people who enjoy this era of literature have probably already read The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Odyssey.further narrowing what this volume has to offer in terms of longer works to just Plato's Symposium. Symposium was fantastic, however! What I would have liked to see instead would have been the full Ramayana. Though, I suppose the one good thing about not including them is that each person can then go and find a translator and version that best suits their tastes to further enjoy the longer stories that were only sampled.
