If you are an instructor and would like to consider the Bookshelf for a future course, you can request a sample using the form below. Should you assign the Bookshelf, you will receive complete complimentary access to the collection for the duration of your course (simply contact your Broadview representative or reps@broadviewpress.com or to arrange this).

Instructors wishing to adopt this collection for classroom use can submit the following ISBN to their bookstore: SUB-9148961810

The Broadview British Bookshelf is particularly well-suited to classroom use. Whether you organize your course by chronology, author, theme, or genre, the Bookshelf offers unparallelled flexibility, with quick access to all included volumes.

A few examples of how it can be used:

• A survey course in which students are assigned Twelfth Night, Pride & Prejudice, and Frankenstein, and then allowed to choose any one other text as the focus of their final essay. Students—and professors—will have access to over 330 options to choose from, allowing students to pursue themes that most appeal to them.
• A course on Victorian novels for which three books have already been selected but the choices for a fourth and fifth will be driven by time constraints or student interest. By adopting the Bookshelf, professors have flexibility to select and assign additional novels at any time before or during a course.
• A course on British intellectual history, where students need to sample from a wide range of literature and non-fiction. The Bookshelf includes not only novels, plays, and poetry, but also works of philosophy and politics.
• A course with a student body that overlaps significantly with that of other courses taught in the department. Students with access to the Bookshelf may have all they need for multiple courses in one subscription.

Editions in the Bookshelf offer:

• Reliable primary texts, carefully edited by academic experts;
• Introductions designed for student readers;
• Footnote annotations to clarify unfamiliar terms and references;
• Appendices of related historical materials that shed light on the context of the work;
• Pagination that matches the print book;
• Industry-leading accessibility features such as scalable text, alt-text of images, and audio.

The Bookshelf can be ordered through any post-secondary bookstore in the United States or Canada, in the same manner as a typical textbook. Students can also purchase a subscription on their own through the links provided above.
