A Synopsis of English Literature

A Synopsis of English Literature provides a summary of English Literature meant for Students who want to have both an overview and some insights on the topic. It is a study-aid meant to be used in connection with other more formal works on English Literature such as, e.g., The Norton Anthology of English Literature, The Oxford Anthology of English Literature, David Daiches’ A Critical History of English Literature, and, last but not least, Mario Praz’s Storia della letteratura inglese. All the aforementioned works have been used as reference books to create this outline in the first place. They are therefore mentioned here with the gratitude necessary for the help they have provided and as an aid to Students as the necessary further step to be taken in studying this rewarding topic more deeply. A Synopsis of English Literature has therefore been conceived in an experimental basic visual form so to provide Students with blank space enough to write down and complete it with those pieces of information they believe to be needed as to render this book a personal, visually more effective, mnemonic tool.
