Introduction
There are many reasons to study literature. Alongside with other forms of art literature participates in the mighty task
of rendering people’s lives, minds and hearts. Human experience contained in the works of literature is a vast
continuum of information from which we can benefit in various ways. We read books for educational purposes,
intellectual training, escape and enjoyment. We also read books because they can help us better understand what we
are.
For centuries people have accumulated and verified knowledge of human, the best works of literature being the
quintessence of all intellectual and spiritual achievements of their time. Studying History of Literature we can observe
culture in progress. Referring every single literary work to a particular epoch we can interpret its message in a broader
context of human evolution. We can observe the development of literary forms against the historical, social,
ideological, religious and all other kinds of changes. History and literature are inextricably intertwined. History is about
people who were products of their time with their own value systems. Study of literature enhances our appreciation of
history’s complexity, which in turn expands our appreciation of present political, social and cultural complexities and
better equips us to predict and prepare for the future.
This book offers a brief overview of the English literature from the Anglo-Saxon period till the 20th century.
The periods of English literature are presented chronologically. The general framework of each part in Section 1
follows a similar pattern. It includes an outline of historical, cultural and literary context, information on authors’ life
and work, contents of their major books. Section 2 gives Seminar questions (those marked with asterisk are meant
for individual study) and topics for presentations. It is followed by the Glossary of literary terms and the Reading
list. It is highly recommended to read all the suggested books before the beginning of the course.

Glossary of Literary Terms
Allegory is a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms; figurative
treatment of one subject under the guise of another; a symbolical narrative (E.g. Piers Plowman).
Alliteration (also known as “head rhyme” or “initial rhyme”), the repetition of the same sounds – usually initial
consonants of words or of stressed syllables – in any sequence of neighbouring words. Now an optional and
incidental decorative effect in verse or prose, it was once a required element in the poetry of Germanic languages.
Such poetry, in which alliteration rather than rhyme is the chief principle of repetition, is known as alliterative verse.
Ballad (Latin: ballare – to dance) is a songlike poem that was a popular verse form in the Middle Ages.
Blank verse is unrhymed poems.
Chivalric Romance is a type of prose and verse narrative that recounts the deeds of knights, ladies, and noble
families seeking honor, love, and adventure. The genre was popular in the aristocratic circles of Medieval Europe.
Comedy of Manners is a play satirising society’s manners. The Restoration comedy of manners reflected the life of
the Court, which was portrayed as being immoral, corrupt, shameless but also elegant, witty and intelligent. Its main
targets of criticism were middle-class values, conventions, hypocrisy and above all the institution of marriage.
Elegy (elegiac poem) is a mournful poem, typically a lament for the dead.
Epic is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serioussubject containing details of
heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or nation.
Epigram is a brief poem praising or making fun of either real or fictitious person.
Epistolary novel is a novel written as a series of documents. The usual form is letters, although diary entries,
newspaper clippings and other documents are sometimes used. Recently, electronic “documents” such as recordings
and radio, blogs, and e-mails have also come into use. The epistolary form can add greater realism to a story.
Epitaph is a brief poem on a dead person.
Essay is a short literary composition on a particular theme or subject, usually in prose and generally analytic,
speculative, or interpretative.
Fables are usually short narratives making an edifying or cautionary point and often employing as characters animals
that speak and act like humans.
Fabliaux (singular: Fabliau) were funny metrical poems, full of indecent jokes, about cunning humbugs, silly old
merchants and their unfaithful wives. Together with fables fabliaux represented the literature of the town which did not
idealize characters as romances did.
Foot is the basic unit of metre which consists of one stressed syllable and one or more unstressed syllables.
Heroic tragedy is a type of play popular during the Restoration era. Like a heroic poem or an epic, it is generally
built around a hero, a king, prince, or an army general, who faces the conflict placed between love and honour.
Heroic tragedy is composed in heroic verse (closed couplets in iambic pentameter).
Kenning is a type of literary trope, specifically circumlocution, in the form of a compound (usually two words, often
hyphenated) that employs figurative language in place of a more concrete single-word noun. Kennings are strongly
associated with Old Norse and later Icelandic and Anglo-Saxon poetry.
Metre is the regular arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables.

Modernism is the deliberate departure from tradition and the use of innovative forms of expression that distinguish
many styles in the arts and literature of the 1900s.
Neoclassicism is the name given to Western movements in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music,
and architecture that draw inspiration from the “classical” art and culture of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome. The
main Neoclassical movement coincided with the 18th century Age of Enlightenment.
Pamphlet is an unbound booklet (i.e. without a hard cover or binding). During the 17–18th centuries religious dogma
and political issues were publicly debated in the form of pamphlets.
Pastoral poetry and prose speaks of light loves and labors of shepherds in idyllic country settings.
Picaresque novel (Spanish: “picaresca”, from “pícaro”, for “rogue” or “rascal”) is a genre of prose fiction which
depicts the adventures of a low social class hero, often criminal or dishonest, who lives by his wits in a corrupt
society. This style of novel originated in 16th century Spain and flourished throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th
centuries.
Refrain is a phrase, verse, or group of verses repeated at intervals throughout a song or poem, especially at the end
of each stanza.
Satire is a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or
ridicule.
Scop – was an Anglo-Saxon poet who was appointed by the early Germanic kings or soldiers to entertain them by
reciting poetry to the accompaniment of a harp or another stringed instrument. From the Old English word
“scieppan”, scop means “to create, form or shape”.
Sonnet is a lyric poems that is 14 lines long falling into three quatrains and a concluding couplet.
Tone is a literary technique that encompasses the attitudes toward the subject and toward the audience implied in a
literary work. Tone may be formal, informal, intimate, solemn, somber, playful, serious, ironic, condescending, or
many other possible attitudes.
Treatise is a formal and systematic exposition in writing of the principles of a subject, generally longer and more
detailed than an essay.
Troubadours (English: minstrels) were a class of musicians and poets who wrote poems and music about chivalry
and love. They were medieval traveling entertainers who would sing and recite poetry to make a living.
Utopia is a community or society possessing highly desirable or near perfect qualities. The term is also used to
describe imagined societies portrayed in fiction.
