First published in 1897 (though the version reissued here was published in 1898 in the series Short Histories of the Literatures of the World), this book documents English literature from Chaucer to Tennyson. Rather than focusing on the biographical and historical aspects, Gosse concentrates instead on literary technique and form.
Written by well-established critic Edmund Gosse, this 1898 work traces the history of English literature from Chaucer to Tennyson.
