内容説明
Most short histories of literature are in essence chronicles, sequences of names and dates with relatively little information about each or about their interrelations. In this book, by concentrating on literary form, the author aims to lay out a more continuous path through the connections and evolutions that link one period's literature with another's across the ruptures of history. The book's historical sweep from the Middle Ages to the present day is centred on the literature of England but takes occasional sideways steps to examine relevant Scottish, Irish, American and Commonwealth authors. While there is no pursuit of innovation for its own sake, the traditional canon comes in for revisions, with re-evaluations of such figures as Douglas, Drayton, Herrick and Ruskin as well as a new prominence for female writers such as Edgeworth and Welty. Nor is the accepted periodization sacrosanct: Scottish Chaucerians make way for the Scottish Renaissance and late Elizabethans are replaced by Mannerists.
While content is by no means ignored, the emphasis on forms and schools allows room for extensive illustrative treatments of key figures such as Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Dickens and James. This is a book aimed to give both information and pleasure. Guided throughout by the author, with explanations of technical terms as they occur, the reader is offered suggestions on how each writer can be approached for enjoyment. The book offers both an introduction for the student and lay reader, and a treatment of the development of genres and of the changing proportions of the literary model.

内容説明
This text is more than a chronicle of illustrious names and works that made them famous. It is also the history of evolving genres and forms, of the changing cultural expectations that affect how writers use them and of diverse historical circumstances. The book works a fabric that interweaves all three strands. Its chronological sweep from the middle ages to the present day focuses on the literature of England, but makes frequent detours to examine writers of Scotland, Ireland, America and the Commonwealth. From the focus on genre emerge illuminating critical evaluations of key figures - Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Dickens, James - and notable revisions of the traditional canon. Professor Fowler offers re-evaluations of Douglas, Drayton, Ruskin and others, and accords new prominence to female writers such as Edgeworth and Welty. The older periodization, too, is revised; "Scottish Renaissance" and "late Elizabethans" are displaced by "mannerists" in this examination of the shifts and developments, ruptures and continuities that have changed the shape of writing over eight centuries. Alastair Fowler has written a book that should appeal equally to the student and the general reader.
