English Literature, A Survey for Students

“English Literature, A Survey for Students” by Anthony Burgess is a new edition of the original classic survey, first published in 1958 under the author’s pen name J. Burgess Wilson. The text has been thoroughly revised and incorporates the developments in English Literature since the 1950s.

Illustrations are included to help place the literature under discussion in its social and intellectual context, and a chronological table places the major developments in English Literature in their historical context. There is also a detailed bibliography of other major critical studies listed both generally and chronologically.

The new design makes this an easy-to-use reference book for the student, and a most readable volume for all general readers interested in the path of English Literature.
