Description
English Literature in Context provides a comprehensive resource for students of English literature. This second edition offers a detailed narrative survey of the historical and cultural contexts that have shaped the development of English literature, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. Carefully structured into eight chronological chapters, each includes a chronology, contextual readings of selected literary texts, annotated suggestions for further reading, illustrations, and textboxes. The book has been comprehensively revised with new material on postcolonial literature and contemporary literature, as well as over two hundred new critical references. Online resources are available, including chapter samples, study questions, and chronologies, to support undergraduate students throughout their degree course.
