AbeBooks: Admirable Anthologies: Jazz, Pulp, Pigs, Teapots & Poetry

AbeBooks: Admirable Anthologies: Jazz, Pulp, Pigs, Teapots & Poetry: You love literature so copies of The Norton Anthology of English Literature by M. H. Abrams (volumes 1 and 2) already have a prime spot on your bookshelf. Norton’s anthologies of short fiction and poetry are probably also up there.

But there is a lot more to anthologies than Norton. This selection dives into the unheralded but vast array of anthologies published over the past 80 years and many are out-of-print. Of course, there are numerous collections of poetry and short stories because both are ideal for anthologies where the reader craves diversity and varying styles of writing throughout the book.
