This historical review of English literature offers three advantages:

• Organizes literature into four historical periods - Medieval (450 1300), Renaissance (1300 - 1660), Neoclassical (1660 - 1785) and Enlightenment (1785 - 1901);

• Contextualizes literature from multiple frames of reference, including with regard to each age’s political, intellectual, educational, legal and medical stages of development;

• Summarizes and analyzes literature in relation to a variety of different genres, modes, styles, themes and literary devices.
