The Modern Age: A Guide to English Literature

The series of which this volume forms part is intended for those many thousands of general readers who accept with genuine respect what is known as our "literary heritage", but who might none the less hesitate to describe intimately the work of such writers as Pope, George Eliot, Langland, Marvell, Yeats, Tourneur, Hopkins, Crabbe, or D. H. Lawrence, or to fit them into any larger pattern of growth and development. It is with such readers in mind that this guide to the history and traditions of our literature, this contour-map to the literary scene, has been planned.
