Designed as a main text-anthology for the introductory drama course. Applauded by reviewers for its generous number of selections, the sixth edition offers true "masterpieces" of drama. This text contains 30 plays ranging from Aeschylus to Churchill, brief introductions and annotations that do not detract from the student's appreciation of the text.

“Mr. Eastman’s book is to be welcomed on at least two counts. It makes for substantial and inviting reading on its own, and it serves as a guide to a fearfully bewildering subject. . . . The commentary in these pages is wide, learned, ingenious and full of penetrating and striking insights. . . . Mr. Eastman’s clarity, fairness and enthusiasm make his book an example of what a scholarly book should be.” ―The New York Times The Shakespeare industry, one reviewer has remarked, seems to be one in which there is no unemployment. Each year new interpretations are put forth as hundreds of books and articles are added to the list of critical studies of Shakespeare. Now Arthur M. Eastman’s A Short History of Shakespearean Criticism, a descriptive and analytical survey, fills the needs for an authoritative introduction to the major criticism of Shakespeare from his own time to the present.

The Norton reader;: An anthology of expository prose

Long the classic anthology of poetry in English, The Norton Anthology of Poetry , Fifth Edition, adds to its wealth of known and loved poems a rich gathering of new poetry. Beginning with Beowulf , newly represented by selections from Seamus Heaney's dazzling translation, and continuing to the present day, The Norton Anthology of Poetry includes over 1,700 poems by 340 poets in the Regular Edition. Many major figures—from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Ashbery and Walcott—have expanded sections, and a range of outstanding younger voices have been newly added. Concise annotations, biographical sketches, an Essay on Versification by Jon Stallworthy, and, new to this edition, an Essay on Poetic Syntax by Margaret Ferguson help readers understand and enjoy the poems.
