Outlines Of English And American Literature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162678382)

Outlines of English and American Literature is a comprehensive guide to the literary traditions of both England and America. Written by William J. Long, a renowned literary scholar and educator, this book provides a concise yet detailed overview of the most important works and authors in English and American literature.The book is organized chronologically, beginning with the earliest works of English literature and progressing through the major literary movements of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Romantic era, and the modern era. Each chapter covers a specific period or literary movement, providing an overview of the major themes, styles, and authors of that period.In addition to covering the major works and authors of English and American literature, Outlines of English and American Literature also includes discussions of literary theory and criticism, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the literary traditions they are studying.Overall, Outlines of English and American Literature is an essential resource for students and scholars of English and American literature, as well as anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the literary traditions of these two great nations.At the present time a different kind of fiction is momentarily popular; yet if we begin one of Brown's bloodcurdling romances, the chances are that we shall finish it, since it appeals to that strange interest in morbid themes which leads so many to read Poe or some other purveyor of horrors and mysteries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
