Presentation transcript:

The History of English Literature is not just a chronological account of works written in the English Language. It is a record of the relationship between a writer and those who precede him or her; it is a record of the relationship between different ages; it records the rise, the growth and the decline of styles and movements; it is a record of the influence of individual writers upon their age, and vice versa. To understand a work of literature, we must understand the personal and wider forces which shaped it – i.e. the context and time it was written in.
