Anthony Burgess: English literature - A Survey For Students It is a great book for students of English literature and for those who want to learn more about the historical background of English writers. I can only recommend this book, even though I hate it at the moment (I have to study it for my finals...) Enjoy the reading! :)
A Student's Grammar of the English Language

A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language
While retaining the structure of that book, it focuses on
students who require depth of treatment and clear presentation with
detailed exemplification.
Draws on the most recent research, including new findings in semantics, pragmatics, and text linguistics as well as grammar.
Discourse features are dealt with throughout, as well as being the theme of one major chapter: "From Sentence to Text".
Differentiates between written and spoken, formal and informal, and British and American English.
Geoffrey Chaucer - The First Great English Poet Geoffrey Chaucer immortalised the medieval pilgrimage and the diversity of fourteenth century English society in his Canterbury Tales .
