Publisher's Synopsis
The present book is the second in a series comprising a complete survey of English Literature; it covers the literature of the period from the Renaissance to the time of Ben Jonson. The literary features and movements of these periods have been exhaustively dealt with, and essays have been given to authors who made their contribution to the development of literature during these periods. The topics covered in the book include Elizabethan and Metaphysical poetry, and works like Doctor Faustus, Macbeth, Twelfth Night and Every man in His Humour. The book also contains possible questions after each topic is covered, which would be beneficial for the readers. The book aims primarily at catering to the needs of the students of English literature, however the lucid language and easy-to-follow style makes the book an appealing read for anyone who is interested in the subject.
