History of English Literature is a comprehensive, eight-volume
survey of English literature from the Middle Ages to the early
twenty-first century. This reference work provides insightful and
often revisionary readings of core texts in the English literary
canon. Richly informative analyses are framed by the biographical,
historical and intellectual context for each author. Volume 1
begins by discussing Anglo-Saxon literature before focusing on the
three major Middle English poets of the late fourteenth century:
Gower, Langland and Chaucer. It then engages with the
sixteenth-century prose romances of Sidney, the epic and lyrical
poetry of Spenser, and Donne's love and religious poems. Full
coverage is devoted to the legendary fifty-year blossoming of the
Elizabethan theatre (excluding Shakespeare, the object of Volume
2), from Kyd and Marlowe up to Jonson, Webster, Middleton, Ford and
Shirley. The final part addresses the sixteenth-century prose works
of Lyly, Greene and Nashe, homiletics by Hooker and others, and
Elizabethan travel literature and historiography.
