4.0 out of 5 stars A must for students of English Literature, 29 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This book is absolutely essential if you want a broad, detailed but easy-to-follow history of the movements and individual authors and novels that have shaped literature. With fascinating links and informative details this book is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview, 29 April 2009
By Molly Edric (Stourbridge, W.Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have a doctorate in literature and have taught for many years and found this comprehensive and well-written,and containing not only usual but interesting quotations. I would thoroughly recommend this as a general history which gives more than the general flavour in its detail and its learned but accessible approach.
