Àííîòàöèÿ: Notwithstanding that the New Pelican Guides to English Literature are devoted to the English tradition, it seemed an attractive and valuable idea to include a new volume on medieval European literature which would complement the volume on English medieval literature. For while many of these English writers were concerned to create their own vernacular literature, they were familiar with, and often indebted to, their European contemporaries. This volume then constitutes a useful and enriching companion to Part One and includes essays on Beowulf, The Song of Roland, Njal's Saga, The Decameron and Rabelais as well as an anthology of medieval literature in the vernacular.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This volume covers the period from William Blake to Lord Byron. It begins with an account of the social and intellectual context of English literature during the Romantic period, followed by a survey of the literature itself/ The rest jf the book is made up of a series of essays dealing in detail with Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Crabbe, Keats, Shelley, Byron, Jane Austen, Scott, and the Essayists. Finally the volume contains an appendix of biographies and bibliographies.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The volume covers the period of Shakespeare's own lifetime. It contains a long general survey of the English literary renaissance? and also an account of the social context of literature in the period. Then there follow a number of essays which consider in detail the wirk and importance of individual dramatists, poets and prose-writers. Finally, this volume contains an appendix giving short author-biographies and, in each case, standard editions of authors' works, critical commentaries, and lists of books for further study and reference.
