IMPORTANT VOLUMES IN ACTIVE PREPARATION |
ENGLISH LITERATURE The aim of this book, which is an extension and expansion of a smaller book in the Home University Library, is to give, within a reasonable compass, a survey of the chief authors and movements in English literature from the time when the language was first used successfully and artistically as a literary vehicle down to the present day. A special feature of this "survey" is its attempt to carry the historical study which it embodies right down to living authors, and to "place" them in the historical scheme. A fine series of portraits has been prepared for the book. With 16 Illustrations. Demy 8vo. Cloth. 6s. net. In the Press. |
