Books by F. W. Bateson

Contains "inter-chapters" that provide reinterpretations of the principal periods of English literature in the light of modern research, as well as two final sections summarizing in unusual detail the literary criticism that exists in English and scholarship in the field.

A history and criticism of English poetry.
