Features: "A History of English Literature" and "Selected Readings in English Literature" are important components of undergraduate English education. Learning about literary history and selected excerpts helps broaden learners' knowledge, cultivate their comprehension and appreciation skills, deepen their understanding of the social life and customs of the target language country, and enhance their overall language proficiency. However, British literature covers a wide range of knowledge and involves numerous works, making it challenging to master this subject. To assist learners with an English major background in excelling in their undergraduate studies and smoothly obtaining a bachelor's degree, we have compiled this textbook. This textbook is divided into two volumes: the first volume introduces a concise history of British literature in simple and accessible language, while the second volume selects famous works by important authors in British literary history. Teachers may adopt either a combined approach (history and selection) or a separated approach (history and selection) during instruction.
