An
Introduction to the Study of English Literature deals with
the concepts, applications and life histories of eminent writers
before Chaucer (500-1400) and the Age of Chaucer 1340-1400.
|
The following part chronologically analysed the
eminent personalities and their contributions to literature, from
Chaucer to the present age1400-1955.
We must never forget that English Literature is a living and growing
thing, and not, like Greek and Latin Literature, a body incapable
of further growth. Taking a longer view however it is possible to
see this kind of study as almost the most important of all: for
by studying good literature we learn more about human problems and
difficulties; by studying the literature of other countries we begin
to understand that these problems are shared by all mankind.
|
|
This book is a good supplementary text in a foreign language
and it is expected that English students as well as readers
of literature from inside and outside of the country would
find this book readable and useable as an introduction to
the English Literature.
This Introduction to the Study of English Literature is an
important contribution to the English literature lovers. Hudson
as well as his works influenced to light to the perspective
of English literature.

History
of English literature is a big tree with innumerable branches
that however be briefed, should still be a history of English
literature in fact as well as in name and for a history something
more is required than a list of authors and their books.
|
|
Hudson has tried to consider all limitations arranging history
of the English literature in a possible way to its chronological
method. So is this book with a beautiful flow of introduction
to the specific ideas of English literature and its growth
that gives the clear idea of how much influenced the generation
time to time. The period of English Literature before Chaucer
(500-1400) to the present age of English literature has been
chronologically arranged in this treatise.
|
|
Hudson has made a precise attempt to exhibit the interplay
of the personal and the impersonal in the making of history
is indeed, one of the fundamentals of the historian's tasks;
and since history, properly understood is as much concerned
with the explanation of the facts as with the facts themselves,
it follows that a history of English literature must include
some records of the forces which, time to time have combined
in the transformation of literary standards and taste. Age
of Shakespeare, Age of Dryden, Age of Wordsworth, Age of Tennyson,
Age of Hardy has been explained with their developments and
influences that are making the book more typical. While going
across these narrations in a reader friendly atmosphere, An
Outline History of English Literature becomes a complete study
for its readers and students of English Literature.
William Henry Hudson's most important work is quite systematic
and lucid in style of depiction. The author has stressed on
its quality of improvements in literature so that precisely
this book is a good companion to those who have English literature.
