Fülszöveg

This, the first volume of the Cresset Press Intro-
ductions to English Literature, covers English
Literature up to 1^09. The Introduction, con-
sisting of about one-third of the book, deals

temporary philosophic and religious move-
ments. The social and political background of

graphy raisonnee, made up of lists of books,
written in the period and recommended for

on the most important and characteristic of
them. Lists of critical works relating to the
period and covering the most recent scholar-
ship are also included.

INTRODUCTIONS TO
ENGLISH LITERATURE
edited by professor bonamy dobree
The purpose of these five volumes, as the general title of the
series implies,, is to introduce people to the pleasures of litera-
ture by putting those who enjoy reading in touch with books
and authors unfamiliar to them, and by helping them to satisfy
and extend those appetencies of mind and sensibility which
literature, in its manifold variety, serves. In other words,
these 'Introductions" are designed to show the reader his way
about the wide world of books and to make him feel at home in
it. They are neither conventional histories nor potted hand-
books, but judicious companions to guide and counsel and
befriend him in his progress toward a full and -fruitful know-
ledge of English literature from the earliest times to the
present day, Vissza
