Literature is a word that is used in more than one sense, but the present book is concerned with one only, namely that which connotes words used in such a way that they convey some degree of genuinely personal vision, of interesting outlook or attitude.
The History of Literature in English covers the main developments in the history of British and Irish literature, with accompanying language notes which explore the interrelationships between language and literature at each stage. With a span from AD 600 to the present day, it emphasises the growth of literary writing, its traditions, conventions and changing characteristics, and includes literature from the margins, both geographical and cultural. Extensive quotations from poetry, prose and drama underpin the narrative.
