This comprehensive text traces the development of one of the world's
richest literatures from the Old English period through to the present
day, discussing a wide range of key authors without losing its clarity
or verve. Building on the book's established reputation and success,
the third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It now
provides a full final chapter on the contemporary scene, with more on
genres and the impact of globalization. This accessible book remains
the essential companion for students of English literature and
literary history, or for anyone wishing to follow the unfolding of
writing in England from its beginnings. It is ideal for those who know
a few landmark texts, but little of the literary landscape that
surrounds them; those who want to know what English literature
consists of; and those who simply want to read its fascinating story.
New to this Edition: - Fully revised throughout - A full final chapter
on contemporary writing, with closer attention paid to the growing
diversity of literatures in English in the British Isles
