English literature - an introduction






The history of literature from England is certainly a colourful one - one which reflects the times in which the literature was produced. From the epic tales of bravery and honour which colour the Old and Middle English period to the texts of the post-modernist period which depict the diversity of human experience, the writers from this country have left us with a plethora of ideas, perspectives, and stories. 

Each period is described in the posts which follow and illustrate the historical context of the period, as well as the works produced. We hope you find the information here useful and entertaining!
