Britain possesses a literary heritage which is almost unrivalled in the Western world. In this lavishly illustrated volume, the richness, diversity, and continuity of this tradition are explored by a group of Britain's foremost literary scholars. * Covers the whole range of English literature from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. *Contributors are eminent scholars and writers in their respective periods. * Illustrated in colour and black and white with picture chosen to illuminate and supplement the text. * Written for both the student and the general reader. * Helpful maps; detailed chronology; reading lists; comprehensive index. . At the heart of the volume towers the figure of Shakespeare, who is accorded a special chapter to himself. Other major figures such as Chaucer, Milton, Donne, Wordsworth, Dickens, Eliot, and Auden are treated in depth, and the story is brought right up to date with discussion of living authors such as Seamus Heaney and Edward Bond.
