Publisher's Synopsis
The present book is the first in a series comprising a complete survey of English Literature; it covers the topics in Old and Middle English Literature. The literary features and movements of these periods have been exhaustively dealt with, and essays have been given to authors who made their contribution to the development of literature during these periods. A special feature of the volume is the last section given to literary types such as tragedy, comedy and different literary movements like Romanticism, Realism, etc. The book also contains possible questions after each topic is covered, which would be beneficial for the readers. The book aims primarily at catering to the needs of the students of English literature, however the lucid language and easy-to-follow style makes the book an appealing read for anyone who is interested in the subject.
