This book on English literature focuses on providing a text-which delves into the fundamental features of English literature. Considering the confounding spectrum of work in English literature, it is hard to restrict into categories the essentials of literature writing; the book, however delineates these by elaborating on the common themes, styles, motifs, techniques, etc., present in the various genres of writing, outlining the primary facts in literature.
The book explores the literature of certain cultural and historical periods, thus allowing for a framework from which students can refer while training the history, development and basics of literature. Emphasis, however, has been laid most upon critical interpretation, of important literary most upon critical interpretation of important literary works, and the examination of how these interpretations have laid the groundwork for literary theory and practices, which in turn lead to the creation of further works worth literary evaluation. |
