Summary:

This volume provides essays on significant works of literature--novels, short stories, and poems--written by English authors, published between 1516 and 2003. The authors--6 women and 18 men--represent a variety of ages, life styles, and political beliefs, including those whose work has been banned, burned, and revered. A major theme in English literature, and thus in this collection, is alienation, with science, nature and religion popular refrains.
