This work provides a comprehensive overview of various literary developments, movements, and key figures in English literature from the late 18th century through the end of the 19th century. The book addresses the rich diversity of literary production during this period, focusing on notable authors and the evolution of genres. At the start of the volume, the author establishes the context of English literary history as it transitions from the 18th to the 19th century.
