Ranging from early medieval times to the present, this diverse
collection explores the myriad ways in which literary texts are
informed by their historical contexts. The thirty-one chapters draw
on varied themes and perspectives to present stimulating new
readings of both canonical and non-canonical texts and authors.
Written in a lively and engaging style, by an international team of
experts, these specially commissioned essays collectively represent
an incisive contribution to literary studies; they will appeal to
scholars, teachers and graduate and undergraduate students. The
book is designed to complement Paul Poplawski's previous volume,
English Literature in Context, and incorporates additional study
elements designed specifically with undergraduates in mind. With an
extensive chronology, a glossary of critical terms, and a study
guide suggesting how students might learn from the essays in their
own writing practices, this volume provides a rich and flexible
resource for teaching and learning.
