W.W.Norton Recitation Contest

Announcing the Norton Anthology Student Recitation Contest!

“There is no one right way to read a poem. Good readers vary greatly, and even the same reader rarely reads a poem twice in exactly the same way.”
—M. H. Abrams, Founding General Editor of The Norton Anthology of English Literature 

As a part of our 50th anniversary celebration, we are happy to announce the first ever Norton Anthology Student Recitation Contest!

Between September 15 and November 15, college and high school students worldwide are invited to submit an original video recitation of one of eight preselected works. Top submissions will be featured on the W. W. Norton website, where Norton editors, students, and fans will vote on the winners.
