A REVIEW OF ENGLISH LITERATURE FROM THE BEGINNING TO RENAISSANCE

A CML Guide to Literatuere, 2020

Observing human behavioral tendencies across a development of time is ever enigmatic, despite being a quotidian phenomenon. The enigma comes in through the wand of possibilities and the erratic realities that course through humanity. Things and time happen to creations across the world and the obsolete happenings never get obsolete along the narratives that make the world a bulb of connected currents – the things that warrant life, existence, quest for power, death, lust and love, and the consistent search for God at the center of life at large. Here, religion, rituals, spirituality – all towards the comb of human exploration become a spectacle to observe with open minds; since your limit becomes the start for another in this world of plausibilities – Literature; a Review of Literature From the Beginning to Renaissance. Keywords: Human Behavioral Tendencies, Quotidian, Enigma, Narratives, Plausibilities

A HISTORY OF OLD ENGLISH LITERATURE

With this study we hope to serve the needs of those students and teachers who feel particularly committed to the changes that have characterized our field in recent years. The renewed emphasis on historicism and the decline of formalist aestheticism in medieval studies have rendered it desirable to have a literary history that attends more singularly to the material and social contexts and uses of Old English texts. Although the need is greater than this volume can really satisfy, we hope that the present study will nonetheless prove useful to those who, like us, see literature’s relation to history and culture as our field’s area of chief pedagogical interest, and the respect in which it has most to offer literary studies at large.
