Synopsis This anthology of as many as twenty essays offers us critiques and interpretations of mainstream British and American literature, as well as addresses the issue of studying literature vis-?-vis certain theoretical and emerging perspectives of our times. Apart from fine analyses of an sharp insights into British literature ranging from Chaucer to Wyatt and Shakespeare, Coleridge and Shelley to Conrad, E.M. Forster and D.H. Lawrence to T.S. Eliot, the modernist drama to Golding’s fictional world, we get a glimpse of the post-war American scenario as well; the anthology also introduces us to some of the interesting issues and modern critical theories and trends which are emerging to be highly relevant in literary study today, thus reminding us once again that literature, indeed, can never be an isolated phenomenon. Students scholars and general readers of English literature will find the anthology both useful and enjoyable.
