With clarity and thoroughness, Moody and Lovett present this 1902 literary history for students. Beginning with early Anglo-Saxon and Norman-French literature, the book then discusses Chaucer and Spenser, continuing through Shakespeare and his contemporaries, the Renaissance, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries—which brought the rise of the novel—and wraps up with the nineteenth-century Victorian novel.
