History of English Literature deals with all aspects of development of English Literature in a comprehensive manner. The book is based on the syllabus of Indian Universities and covers the entire period of English Literature from Chaucer down to the Modern Age. Every age has been portrayed in a simple manner so as to fulfil the requirements of the students of various Indian Universities covering the entire field of English Literature. The study also provides a clear picture about the life and works of all the great literary figures such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Johnson, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, and others. More attention has been focused on the important aspects of the History of English Literature and all superfluities have been avoided.
The book has been so designed that it would be useful for all those who have to take examination in the History of English Literature, both at the Under-graduate and Post-graduate levels as well as those who offer this extremely vast and difficult paper in the various competitive examinations. It is hoped that the book would be of interest also to the common readers of English Literature, as it makes a rapid survey of the whole field without going into unnecessary details.
