Description: This book charts the history of English literature from its origins in the Anglo-Saxon era to its flourishing in the Victorian period. The author, a noted literary scholar, weaves together medieval tales, Shakespearean sonnets, and Romantic verse to present a cohesive story of how English literature emerged from its humble beginnings as songs and sagas to the sophistication of high literary art. Along the way, we see how societal changes, such as the arrival of the Normans in the 11th century which reshaped language, influenced the course of literary development. This expansive work gives discerning readers a deep understanding of the evolution of English literature and its profound impact on history, society, and the human experience.
