Description

An Outline History of English Literature by William Henry Hudson, revised by S. S. Sharma, is a clear, systematic, and student-friendly survey of English literary history from the pre-Chaucerian period to the modern and post-modern age. Designed for students, teachers, researchers, and general readers of literature, the book presents English literature not merely as a sequence of authors and texts, but as a living historical development shaped by social, cultural, intellectual, and political forces.

Beginning with early English writing before Chaucer, the book traces the growth of major literary forms through the Age of Chaucer, the Renaissance, the Elizabethan drama, the Age of Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Johnson, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Hardy, and the modern period. It discusses poetry, prose, drama, and the novel in relation to the literary spirit of each age, helping readers understand how writers responded to the changing conditions of their times. Important literary figures such as Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, John Milton, John Dryden, William Wordsworth, Alfred Tennyson, T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and others are placed within the larger movement of English literary tradition.

The revised edition extends the usefulness of Hudson’s classic outline by bringing the discussion up to later modern and post-modern contexts. Its compact structure, chronological arrangement, and accessible style make it especially valuable for examination preparation, classroom teaching, and independent study. By combining literary facts with historical interpretation, the book offers readers a balanced understanding of English literature as both artistic achievement and cultural record.

Funny and not too harsh
Format: Hardcover
This is a funny little book that even most religious people should be able to enjoy. It doesn't go too far in poking fun. A highlight is the peek inside Flanders' head where one can inspect the varioius compartments of his mind. --Guy P.
