In revising, A Short History of English Literature Sir Ifor Evans has thoroughly updated the present volume to bring the discussion on the plays, poetry and novels of the twentieth century into the 1960s; the bibliography has also been fully revised and now provides up-to-date guidance for further study. The second edition has lost none of the originala s conciseness and readability. The author guides the reader through some six centuries of English literature, beginning with Chaucera s time, when the language became recognizably our own, and goes on to analyse the background, interconnections and major achievements of individual writers in each period. He gives the reader a sense both of the continuing literary tradition and of the radical changes. The book leaves the reader informed about each writera s main output, sensitive to the special character of his gifts and aware of the writera s place in the story of English literature as a whole.
