| Summary, etc | Modern English literature: from Chaucer to the present day critically examines the famous authors of English literature spread over a long period, and covers more or less the whole range of those English authors whose work can be read without the intervention of the philologist or the Professor of dead dialects. The book aims at maintaining an individual point of views, at laying stress on ideas and tendencies rather than at recording facts and events, and it does not hesitate to draw generously on standard works of criticism and biography with which students are familiar. Many authors are not mentioned, and others receive scanty treatment, because of the necessities of this method of approach. The book aims at dealing with the matter of authors more than their lives. It pretends no more than to be a general introduction to a very great subject, and it will have fulfilled all that is intended for it if it stimulates those who read it to set about reading for themselves the books of which it treats. The book has ten chapters along with bibliography, chronological tables, and index. It contains: the Renaissance, Elizabethan poetry and prose, the drama, the seventeenth century, the age of good sense, Dr. Johnson and his time, the romantic revival, the Victorian age, The novel, and contemporaries. The book will be found of great interest by the students of English literature, researchers, and the general readers. |
