This anthology comprising eighteen essays provides glimpses of mainstream British literature as well as surveys of American, African, and Canadian writings in English, and in a way a view of the practice of English writing across the globe. Here are fine analyses and sharp critique of, as well as fine sensitive response to, the plays of Shakespeare, the poetry of Dryden, Wordsworth, Keats, the biographical works of E.M. Forster, the drama and poetry of T.S. Eliot, in addition to a glimpse of some plays by modern British playwrights. At the same time it also offers critical insights into American authors like Langston Hughes and Ernest Hemingway, African author like Achebe, or a Canadian Booker winner of recent times like Yann Martin. There are discussions of Naipaul’s novel and travelogue.
Another unique feature of the present anthology is a small bunch of essays which take up the related issues of aesthetics and literary criticism, and modern trends and movements in the domain of ideas, thus reminding of once again that literature, indeed, can never be an isolated phenomenon.
Students, scholars and general readers of English literature will find the anthology both useful and enjoyable.
