Anthologies form an excellent way of resourcing literature for different age groups.
Our anthologies use different themes to draw together a wide variety of writing, and present it in a single resource for use in the classroom. The Cambridge Literature Series offers a wide range of literary texts supported by resource notes, activities and additional support for students. Cambridge School Chaucer provides an excellent way of introducing students to an important period of pre-20th Century literature. In each volume the text is accompanied by a glossary, notes on style and characterisation, suggestions for activities and illustrations. The Selected Tales from Chaucer and recordings of some tales on CD widen the range of resources available.
