Description

Originally published in 1914, this book presents a chronological study of English literature from the Anglo-Saxon period through to the Victorian era. The text was not written to provide a comprehensive guide, but rather to give readers a 'companion to studies' which would encourage their curiosity. Each chronological chapter is divided into sections on prose and verse, and a detailed index is also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the literary criticism and the historical development of English literature.
