英國文學史3.1
HISTORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE
TO 1660
The first of a series of three volumes
which trace the history of English literature
from its earliest beginnings
to the present day,
this volume contains a complete study
of English literature up to the Restoration.
It includes invaluable synopses and commentaries
on all major, and many minor, works;
useful, information-packed biographies
of major and lesser figures;
and a detailed examination of
all important literary trends
covering the remarkable transition
from the world of the Anglo-Saxon to Paradise Lost.
