Designed especially for undergraduate and graduate students who are second-language learners in South and Southeast Asia, it fosters a deeper appreciation of English literary history and its aesthetic foundations.Each chapter offers a well-structured overview, beginning with the historical, social, political, and philosophical contexts that shaped the literature of the time. This is followed by close readings of representative poems, highlighting key themes, poetic forms, and stylistic features.
