Norton's Selected Works of Britain and America is basically bound in two volumes. In order to facilitate the consideration of students and marketing, the first and second volumes are divided into three parts, namely six volumes. The content is exactly the same. Two volumes are hardcover and paperback, and six volumes are only published in paperback. The United States has five volumes and the United Kingdom has six volumes. The contents are the same, but the packaging is different. Each of the six volumes is about 65433. The abridged edition is about half shorter.

The seventh edition is co-edited by abrams and greenblatt from Harvard, and greenblatt is the editor-in-chief of the eighth edition. To this end, Harvard also publicized it in the school magazine. After all, this anthology is now the best in this field.
