This new edition of an established text provides a succinct and
up-to-date historical overview of the story of English literature.
Focusing on how writing both reflects and challenges the periods in
which it is produced, John Peck and Martin Coyle combine close
readings of key texts with recent critical thinking on the
interaction of literary works and culture. Providing a lively
introductory guide to English literature from Beowulf to the
present day, the authors write in their characteristically lucid
and accessible style. A true masterpiece of clarity and
compression, this is essential reading for undergraduate students
coming across the vast areas of English literature for the first
time and looking for a way of making critical sense of the texts
being studied. In addition, the concise nature and narrative
structure of this book makes it excellent reading for general
readers. New to this Edition: - Revised chapter on twentieth
century literature - Complete new chapter on twenty-first century
literature - Updated Chronology and Further Reading section
