Features: With the in-depth implementation of China's policy of opening up to the outside world, the role of foreign language teaching has become particularly important in various schools. A large number of foreign language talents have been cultivated through various English specialized and undergraduate programs. However, from the perspective of social demand, the knowledge acquired by English majors is no longer sufficient to meet societal needs. As a result, English undergraduate education faces the significant task of further training working professionals who already hold an English major. This textbook was written to adapt to this situation. "A History of English Literature" and "Selected Readings in English Literature" are important components of English undergraduate education. Studying literary history and excerpts from works helps broaden learners' knowledge, develop 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.
