Features: The Selected Readings in British Literature was compiled and annotated by the Department of Foreign Languages, Fudan University. It was originally planned to be divided into two volumes. The first volume covered the period from the 14th century to the second half of the 19th century, while the second volume covered the late 19th century to the late 1930s. Following suggestions from various individuals, a third volume has been added, featuring works from the late 1930s to the 1970s. Each selection in the book consists of four parts: author introduction, preface, original text, and annotations. Some selected texts, either due to their clear themes or their ability to stand alone as chapters, do not include a preface. The writers and works are generally arranged in chronological order based on birth date and publication time. However, some writers and works have been slightly adjusted due to their literary schools, influence, and status, as they do not fit the above order.
