This comprehensive guide to the historical and cultural context of
English literature covers the core periods of literature, and
history, from the English Renaissance to the present. Peter
Widdowson introduces and outlines key terms, concepts and
developments and provides a series of timelines showing political,
social, cultural and literary events for each year. Together, this
indispensable reference work offers a concise history of Britain
for literature students at all levels and provides readers with the
context for any literary work from 1500 to 2000. The Palgrave Guide
to English Literature and its Contexts, 1500-2000 - covers a wide
range of canonical British authors and works but also provides
contextualising examples of works from other countries - each
chapter focuses on a key period in English Literature and History,
gives a brief overview of that period, and defines the main terms
and ideas of the age - contains easy-to-follow timelines which may
be viewed either horizontally or vertically, allowing readers to
track a chronological history, or single out the developments and
events of a specific year
