English Literary Criticism: Romantic and Victorian
by Daniel Hoffman Samuel HynesFrom the book: This book concludes the Goldentree series of anthologies of English literary criticism. Together these collections cover three broad periods of literature: the Renaissance, the neo-classical period, and the nineteenth century. Literary historians are accustomed to divide the nineteenth century into two distinct periods, the Romantic Movement and the Victorian Era. With respect to literary criticism and the assumptions on which it is based, however, it is more accurate to consider the century as a single "post-classical" period...
English Literary Criticism: The Medieval Phase
by J. W. AtkinsIn England literary consciousness had its beginning in the middle ages, and this book, originally published in 1943, describes and illustrates the first phases of the growth of a tradition of criticism. It does not confine itself to writers whose interest was in the vernacular, for there was a larger European movement of which English criticism was a part. It embodied much of the ancient teaching, but it shows recurring efforts to arrive at the nature and art of poetry; it provides a key to contemporary literature and is of great help in understanding what really happened at the 16th Century Renaissance.
English Literary Criticism: The Renascence
by J. W. AtkinsOriginally published in 1947, this volume reviews the critical achievement at the Renaissance. It discusses the ideas of literature then current in England, as revealed in contemporary theorizing and judgments. The period has sometimes been dismissed as lacking great critics, and the critical works themselves have been described as elementary and remote, but, as this work shows, viewed in the light of what came before and after, those texts will be found to be of considerable interest and possess intrinsic and historical value. This book charts the course of the movement and the main findings and their significance in critical history. There is an emphasis to show the part payed by the medieval tradition, with its inheritance of post-classical and patristic doctrine; the lead given by 15th Century Italian and other Humanists and the no less important attempts of independent native writers to work out new artistic and dramatic theory of their own.

English Literature 1832-1890, Excluding the Novel
by Paul TurnerAnalysis of the work of the British writers of the period--all genres, including drama and children's literature, among others.
English Literature Between the Wars (Routledge Revivals)
by B. Ifor EvansFirst published in 1948, English Literature Between the Wars sets out to answer a question: to what extent did the years between the two wars constitute a period in literature? Its exploration leads the author to assess the changes in the reading public, and in the movement of taste. He is led to the conclusion that in the inter-war period some writers were aware that a crisis in civilization was taking place and that these were the more genuinely creative writers. Apart from a consideration of these general problems, the volume contains studies of E.M. Forster, James Joyce, Aldous Huxley, D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and others. It also assesses the influence of war on the literature of the period, comments on the work of the younger writers, and adds a note on the theatre. Students of literature and history will find this book particularly interesting.

by H.V. RouthEnglish Literature and Ideas in the Twentieth Century (1950) looks at the British pioneers of a new style of writing in the twentieth century.

English Literature and the Crusades: Anxieties of Holy War, 1291–1453 (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature)
by Marcel EliasThe period from the Mamlūk reconquest of Acre (1291) to the Ottoman siege of Constantinople (1453) witnessed the production of a substantial corpus of Middle English crusade romances. Marcel Elias places these romances in dialogue with multifarious European writings to offer a novel account of late medieval crusade culture: as ambivalent and self-critical, animated by tensions and debates, and fraught with anxiety. These romances uphold ideals of holy war while expressing anxieties about issues as diverse as God's endorsement of the crusading enterprise, the conversion of Christians to Islam, the sinfulness of crusaders, and the morality of violence. Reinvigorating debates in medieval postcolonialism, drawing on emotion studies, and excavating a rich multilingual archive, this book is a major contribution to the cultural history of the crusades. This title is part of the Flip it Open programme and may also be available open access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
