Description

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. Full black cloth boards. 91 pages. Black and white illustrations. "The book spans over a thousand years of literary history, covering the major works, authors, and movements that have shaped the English literary tradition. It begins with the epic poem 'Beowulf' and continues through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Romantic era, and into the 20th century. Myers explores the themes, styles, and innovations of each period, providing in-depth analysis of the works of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Austen, Dickens, Hardy, and many other literary giants. The book also includes biographical information on the authors and their historical contexts, as well as critical perspectives on their works." [publisher]
