Items related to Portrait of English Literature
In this book, which for many years has proved an invaluable and fascinating aid to all those interested in the history of English literature, Ifor Evans explains, clearly and judiciously, just how our literature has evolved, and how writers are influenced by the society in which they live. The pictures, in this first illustrated edition, are chosen not only to identify the writers themselves, but also to illustrate the intellectual and physical environment in which they lived and wrote. Medieval pilgrimages, Elizabethan pageantry, even nineteenth century slums, are themes that figured largely in art as well as the literature of Chaucer, Spenser and Dickens, and this book offers a unique opportunity to link the themes of literature with those of art, and the writers with their times.
