For the third edition of this volume a considerable number of changes have been made. Excerpts from Thomas Hoby's enormously influential translation of Castiglione's Book of the Courtier are included for the first time. Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke is now represented in the bound book anthology-and selections from Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia are now included as well. The range of selections from Elizabeth I's poems, letters, and speeches has been broadened considerably, as have been done with Spenser's Fairie Queene; Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis has been added; there are now more poems by Lady Mary Wroth and George Herbert; and Anne Locke is now represented in the Sonnets section. Bacon's Essay On Revenge has been added-as has Thomas Kyd's influential play of revenge, The Spanish Tragedy. Margaret Cavendish, previously included in volume 3 of the full anthology, will now also be included in this volume; we have added a number of her poems, with an emphasis on those with scientific themes. Several additions have been mad to existing Contexts sections, and an all-new Contexts section, Ranters, Levellers, and Diggers, has been added. There are many additions the website component as well-including Thomas Deloney's Jack of Newbury (also being published as a stand-alone BABL edition), and excerpts from Thomas Dekker's plague pamphlets.

Reviews for The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Volume 2: The Renaissance and the Early Seventeenth Century - Third Edition
Comments on the Broadview Anthology of Literature: ... an exciting achievement. It sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British Literature will now have to be measured.
Graham Hammill, State University of New York, Buffalo With the publication of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies by Norton and Longman.... This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement.
Nicholas Watson, Harvard University Forty-five years [after publication], the Norton remains the 800 lb. gorilla in the classroom. But it faces vigorous and growing competition from other anthologies, notably The Longman Anthology of British Literature and The Broadview Anthology of British Literature.... The most recent entry in the field, the Broadview, [is distinguished by its] selections, longer introductions, more visual material, and ... Web component.
The Chronicle of Higher Education ... I have been using The Broadview Anthology of British Literature for three years now. I love it
and so do my students!
Martha Stoddard-Holmes, California State University, San Marcos After twenty years of teaching British literature from the Norton anthologies, I'm ready to switch to the Broadview. The introductions to each period are key to teaching a survey course, and those in the Broadview seem to me to be both more accessible to students and more detailed in their portraits of each era than are those of the Norton. And Broadview's selection of authors and texts includes everything I like to teach from the Norton, plus a good deal else that's of real interest.
