Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an anthology of poems, ballads, novels, and essays each of which represents a chapter in the story of English literature, starting with medieval times and continuing to the present day. By the inclusion of complete and unabridged works, the author has sought to make the book a âpersonal book-shelf,â not just a book for study, but a source of enjoyment and inspiration, a literary companion to be kept close at hand and returned to often. The author has also endeavoured to make his selections representative of the various kinds of literature, so that the reader may become acquainted with the whole range of English literature. The pieces are arranged in chronological order, preceded by helpful introductions to each section, which explain the literary and historical background and point out the distinctive qualities of the work to be read. The author has written these introductions with skill and enthusiasm, showing a deep understanding of the subject and a genuine love of literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
