Book Description
This two-volume work provides some of the most anthologized material in English literature, with one difference: a number of those works are presented in their entirety to expose students to a much more comprehensive reading experience. For those who have read only simple snippets of short pieces or parts of works, these complete poems, works of drama, and prose fiction will help them to expand the depth of their reading. From Beowulf to Swift, this anthology promises to introduce a wider range of material for the reader's enjoyment. The selections are broad enough for those students who wish to explore--in some detail--the world of the writers' imagination. Included are brief author or work headnotes to aid the reader in capturing the backdrop to the authors and their works.

Book Description
For the first time Hawk’s Way’s cowboys are in one convenient box set, from New York Times bestselling author Joan Johnston… Dallas Angela owes her life to the Texas Ranger Dallas, but what he doesn’t know is she’s from 1864. Dallas is fairly sure the woman he’s rescued is completely out of her mind. When he meets Angela, over a century worth of differences come crashing together. Still, there’s something about her fiery spirit and unmistakable beauty that has him wanting to believe her story. Sometimes, when it comes to falling in love, there’s no place to go but the future. Jesse Honey hasn’t been the same ever since her husband, a Texas Ranger, died on the job. So when cowboy Jesse Whitelaw turns up on her doorstep looking for work, he seems like the answer to her prayers. Jesse longs to be the man in Honey’s life, but he’ll do anything to keep his secret hidden. She doesn’t know he’s really a Ranger himself, and is undercover investigating a cattle-rustling ring. But as they grow closer, it becomes tougher for Jesse to pretend. Can he and Honey obey the law of their own hearts? Adam Tate Whitelaw leaves her overprotective family, and runs straight into the arms of hardened rancher Adam Phillips. Adam has had enough experience with misfits and strays that he knows a damsel in distress when he sees one. He’s in no mood to deal with the spirited women, but he can’t seem to keep her out of his heart…or his bed. But when Tate’s brothers track her down with shotguns in hand, Adam will have to wrangle her heart, before he loses her for good. Faron Belinda Prescott has just inherited a nearly bankrupt ranch…along with Faron Whitelaw, an ill-tempered cowboy. Faron was furious when Belinda informed him about the truth of his parentage: he wasn't one of the Whitelaws of Texas. He wanted to believe that she was nothing more than a gold digger, but all she seemed to want was him… Previously published as A Little Time in Texas, Honey and the Hired Hand, The Rancher and the Runaway Bride, and The Cowboy and The Princess.

Book Description
Journey to the magical world of Erthia in this exciting collection of stories from The Black Witch Chronicles by critically acclaimed author Laurie Forest. THE BLACK WITCH Though Elloren Gardner is the spitting image of her famous grandmother, the last prophesied Black Witch, she is utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above all else. But as evil looms on the horizon and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds, Elloren’s best hope of survival may be among the most unlikely band of misfits…if only she can find the courage to trust those she’s been taught to hate and fear. WANDFASTED Twenty years before The Black Witch, Erthia was rent asunder during the devastating Realm War. When Tessla Harrow is driven from her home by the fighting, she discovers a depth of power she never knew she had…and an irresistible draw toward Vale Gardner, the son of the Black Witch who is destined to save their people. LIGHT MAGE Before Elloren Gardner came to possess the White Wand of myth, the Wand was drawn to another bearer: Sagellyn Gaffney, the first female Light Mage born in decades. When Sage discovers that the fastmate her parents chose for her is not the charming young man he appears to be, she is forced to abandon everything she once knew and forge a new path for herself…and find a way to protect the Wand from the dark forces hunting for it. Titles originally published in 2017 and 2018.

Book Description
In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship, the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials. Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader in the field. The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter has been edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes. In the revised third edition of this volume, the term “Anglo-Saxon” has been removed from our editorial apparatus—a change made in response to recent scholarly work that has drawn attention to the term’s historical and current usage by white supremacists. We have also taken the opportunity to implement a small number of additional improvements. We have also taken the opportunity to implement a small number of additional improvements; the pagination, however, remains the same.
