Features: This book is a set of teaching materials written by the author, organized in the chronological order of British literary history and accompanied by selected readings. It is designed for use by English majors in higher education institutions in China. Due to limited class time, the historical section provides only a concise overview, while the selected readings have been carefully chosen to include important authors and works from the literary history. This combined history and selection textbook is published in two volumes: the first volume covers ancient to 18th-century British literature, and the second volume covers 19th-century to 20th-century British literature. The textbook is rich in content, presents correct perspectives, and features representative selections. It can serve as a textbook or reference for British literary history and selected readings courses in English departments of higher education institutions, as well as an ideal reading material for secondary school English teachers, self-learners with a certain level of English proficiency, and enthusiasts of British and American literature.
