Synopsis

This book will take you to the heart of some of the great literature of the English language, to discover or rediscover the best that has been written. In concise and clearly structured sections, many of the major writers are presented and discussed in order of their birth, giving a strong sense of the unfolding history of English literature from Beowulf to Seamus Heaney. Every writer or group of writers is approached afresh through carefully selected extracts, informed comment, key biographical detail and suggestions for further reading. Each section can be read as a self-contained guide in a matter of minutes, and the book as a whole builds into an ordered programme that will enrich your leisure time and build your body of knowledge.

Author Bio
John Carrington gained a first class English degree at Jesus College, Cambridge and has spent a lifetime teaching English in schools in the UK and USA. He was Head of English and then Deputy Head at Taunton School for 32 years where his passion for his subject touched all those he taught. As one student wrote It was impossible not to be inspired in Mr Carrington's classes. He had a knack of bringing everything we read to life. As an English tutor on adult courses I have been touched by the hunger many adults have for a deeper experience of the life-enhancing joys of literature. This book is for them. It's a distillation of all I've learned and taught over the last 40 years.
