A History of English Literature
Fowler, Alastair
ISBN: 0631127313
Basil Blackwell Oxford 1987 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardcover 800 g; X, 396 pages, including index. Colour illustrated dustwrapper. Minor handling marks and grubby marks to the edges of the text block. The history of English language is more than a chronicle of illustrious names of the works that made them famous. It is also the history of evolving genres and forms, of the changing cultural expectations that affect how writers use them and of diverse historical circumstances. The book's chronological sweep from the Middle Ages to the present day focuses on the literature of England, but makes frequent detours to examine writers of Scotland, Ireland, America and the Commonwealth.
