Norton Literature Online
Norton Literature Online provides students with the most robust offering of literature resources on the Web, including an extensive glossary of literary terms, a valuable "Writing about Literature" section, MLA documentation guidelines, links to textbook-specific sites that include student review materials, and much more.
In addition to general tools for reading and writing, the site features a gallery of nearly 400 author portraits, more than 100 maps, timelines, and dozens of recorded readings and musical selections. Norton Literature Online is the portal to the much-praised Norton Topics Online and The Online Archive, sections designed specifically for use with The Norton Anthology of English Literature (see below). Access to Norton Literature Online is free with new copies of the anthology.

Norton Topics Online
Prepared by the anthology editors, these 27 topical clusters included the editors’ introductions, a gathering of annotated texts and images, and study questions and research links relevant to each topic. For use with the Major Authors Edition, three new Twentieth Century topics—"Imagining Ireland," "Modernist Experimentation," and "Representing the Great War"—and a recast Romantic topic, "The Satanic and Byronic Hero," have been added to this much-praised site.
Norton Topics Online also offers:
- A student-friendly "How to Use This Site" introduction
- Over 350 images
- Over 250 Explorations to generate discussion and research topics
- Annotated hyperlinks
- Cross-references to the Anthology
The Online Archive
This rich resources offers a wealth of texts from the Middle Ages through the Victorian period. An ongoing project, the Online Archive is being expanded to include all public-domain texts trimmed from The Norton Anthology of English Literature over six editions. Texts include annotation prepared by the editors and are formatted for ease of downloading and printing. A new Publication Chronology lists over 1,000 texts and the edition in which each was introduced, dropped, and sometimes reintroduced to the anthology. As such, the chronology and the archive present a unique window on the teaching of English literature over four decades.
