A Critical History of English Literature: The Restoration to the Present Day v. 2

 


This  is a splendid work on English literature written with imagination and rare insight.This edition of the now classic work has won critical acclaim. To have brought within the scope of one fresh and enquiring mind, as learned as it is imaginative, the whole compass of English literature from Caedmon to D. H. Lawrence is a tremendous and heart-warming feat.
With Zest and love and with a constant sense of exited discovery the writer storms his way through an enormous and complex tradition,, balancing historical background and "pure" criticism to a hair's breadth of good judgement.
