This comprehensive history of English literature from Anglo-Saxon times to the close of the Victorian era instills in students a desire to read the best books and know literature itself, rather than literary criticism. It examines literature from both a personal and historical perspective, showing how great books reflect not only the author’s life and thought, but also the spirit of their age. Through a study of each successive period, the book traces the evolution of English literature from its early roots in oral storytelling to its present sophistication in prose and poetry.
