Description
A guide to English literature, including special survey articles exploring key concepts (such as Structuralism and Modernism), genres (such as Science Fiction and Biography) , and evolving traditions (including Black British Literature and Post-Colonial Literature). Topics ranging from comic strips and children's literature to the Beat Generation and Saussurean linguistics are examined in detail, as well as the influences--Classical, European, and world-wide--that have shaped the evolution of England's literary culture. Provides a chronological chart tracing English literature from Anglo-Saxon times through 1994, a list of British poets laureate, and lists of recipients of the Nobel, Pulitzer, and Booker prizes and the Carnegie Medal.
