Publisher's Synopsis
Social Studies in English Literature is a book written by Laura Johnson Wylie and published in 1916. The book explores the social and cultural context of English literature, examining the ways in which literary works reflect and respond to the social issues and attitudes of their time. Wylie argues that literature is not only a form of artistic expression, but also a valuable source of insight into the social and historical conditions of the past. The book covers a wide range of literary periods and genres, from medieval romance to Victorian realism, and includes discussions of works by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and many others. With its interdisciplinary approach to literature and history, Social Studies in English Literature remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of English literature and social history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
