This ground-breaking new series looks at how writers and their writings have
affected the world and society of their time, and in turn, how their world
affected their writing.
Each of these pioneering volumes offers a leading scholar?s considered assessment
of the authors, works, cultural traditions, events, and ideas that shaped the
literary voices of their age.
The series will enlighten and inspire all who are passionate about literature;
every scholar of the period will want these books on their shelf as an essential
reference tool, and students will find their depth, breadth, and insights invaluable
in their studies.
Publishing between 2001 and 2006, the series will eventually comprise 13 volumes,
covering more than a millennium of English literary history.
