Book Description

This "little history" takes on the glorious span of literature from Greek myth to graphic novels, from The Canterbury Tales to Harry Potter. Sutherland introduces great classics in his own irresistible way, enlivening his offerings with humour as well as learning: Beowulf, Shakespeare, the Romantics, Dickens, Moby Dick, The Waste Land, Woolf, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and dozens of others. He adds to these a less-expected, personal selection of authors and works, including literary works usually considered well below "serious attention" - from the rude jests of Anglo-Saxon runes to The Da Vinci Code. For younger readers, he offers a proper introduction to literature, promising to interest as much as instruct. For more experienced readers, he promises just the same
