112K0

Renowned scholar and biographer Jonathan Bate provides a moving introduction to English literature, spanning more than two thousand years and outlining every literary genre. His focus is extremely wide-ranging, ranging from the birth of the novel and the excellence of English comedy to the Englishness of the depths of the pastoral and the racial diversity of Britain's Nobel Prize winners. This short book is also packed with in-depth textual analysis, including a close reading of an important scene in King Lear, an analysis of a war poem by Carol Ann Duffy, and the changes that occur in a literary text as it shifts from author to reader.
