Customer Reviews

A master storyteller's tour through English literature and its times.

"Professor Adams seems to have read the whole library and yet . . . retained his pith, vigor, suppleness, and good cheer. In addition, he knows how to tell a story. . . . One of the real delights of this book is Professor Adams's eye for the flinty detail. . . . Much of the pleasure . . . lies in [the book's] rich texture of corss-references between history and literature. . . . Exhilirating."—Daniel Albright, New York Review of Books

"A concise and balanced overview of English literature from its Celtic, Roman, and Saxon roots to the present. . . . The work of an author with a persuasive personal viewpoint."—John Barkham Reviews

"Delightful flavor. . . . Reading a few pages of Robert Martin Adams . . . makes all the literary history and criticism that I have read in recent years seem, even the best of it, dryasdust. It is wonderful that . . . a book like this can still be written."—Donald Davie, Inquiry
