Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to give a brief and plain introduction to English literature and the authors. The author of this book vividly describes the outstanding English works and life history of famous writers. He has covered almost all outstanding writers of English literature. The knowledge of English literature would tend no less, to the spread of healthy historic views among the people. The literature of every nation is its autobiography. Even in its most complex and artistic forms, it is still a wonderfully artless and unconscious record of its doubts and its faith, its sorrows and its triumphs at each era of its existence. In the pages that follows, considerable space has been devoted to the literature. The plan adopted in the work has been to deal solely with very greatest names in the several department of English literature. Neither wealth of information nor depth of thought gives a work a right to be called literature unless the information and the thought be attractively expressed. The author has fully met this condition. This outstanding book will be of great interest to scholars and students of English literature as well as to general readers.
