Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EVERYTHING you want to know about theory and criticism *by A***R on September 23, 2021* This book is an incredible compendium of critical theory. I will be using it for the rest of my career in English literature. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended *by L***N on August 28, 2021* I regularly use this anthology in a graduate survey of literary and cultural theory. I recommend it. Regarding packaging: This is a heavy book. It came swathed in plastic, in a box somewhat larger than the book itself. It shifted around a lot, with the result that the corners of the cover were slightly damaged. It would be better to surround the book with plastic pillows or other filler. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism, 3rd Edition - The Norton Anthology of Poetry - The Riverside Chaucer: Reissued with a new foreword by Christopher Cannon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/91817859-the-norton-anthology-of-theory-and-criticism](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/91817859-the-norton-anthology-of-theory-and-criticism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
