Features: This book is a set of teaching materials designed for English majors in higher education institutions in China, compiled by the author based on the chronological order of British literary history combined with selected readings. Due to limited class time, the historical section only provides a concise overview, while the selected readings section strives to include important writers and significant works from 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 content is rich, the perspectives are correct, and the selected readings are representative. It can serve as a textbook or reference book for British literary history and selected readings courses in foreign language departments of universities. It is also an ideal reading material for middle school English teachers, self-learners with a certain level of English proficiency, and enthusiasts of British and American literature.
