The Short Oxford History of English Literature provides in a single
volume a comprehensive beginner's guide to the literature of the
British Isles from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. Now
established as the leading introduction to English literature,
separate chapters trace the development from Beowulf to the
`post-modern' fictions of Seamus Heaney and Angela Carter. The
History provides detailed discussion of Old and Middle English
Literature, the Renaissance, Shakespeare, the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, the Romantics, Victorian and Edwardian
literature, Modernism, and post-war writing. Discussions of key
writers and works from Anselm and Chaucer to Spencer and Bunyan,
and from Swift and Johnson to Dickens and D.H. Lawrence, are
combined with analysis of the impact on literature of contemporary
political, social, and intellectual developments. The History looks
again at the canon of English literature and provides a fresh
assessment of the distinctive contribution of Scottish, Irish, and
Welsh writers, and it asks about the future of the canon in the
light of the fragmented condition of British writing in the
post-imperial period. This revised edition includes for the first
time detailed, chapter-by-chapter guidance on further reading.
Lively, accessible, and up-to-date, The Short Oxford History of
English Literature will be an invaluable source for general readers
and a key textbook for sixth-form students, first year
undergraduates, and foreign students of English literature.
