A History of English Literature (original) (raw)

A brief history of English literature Notes

Literary forms such as the novel or lyric poem, or genres, such as the horror-story, have a history. In one sense, they appear because they have not been thought of before, but they also appear, or become popular for other cultural reasons, such as the absence or emergence of literacy. In studying the history of literature (or any kind of art), you are challenged to consider  what constitutes a given form,  how it has developed, and  whether it has a future.
