English Lit 101: From Jane Austen to George Orwell and the Enlightenment to Realism, an Essential Guide to Britain's Greatest Writers a by Brian Boone

4.0

---

Very brief descriptions of all the classics in English Lit. Almost wholly uncritical of the attitudes of the writers it deals with, but that seems to be a stylistic choice; the book definitely doesn't glorify the history of Britain itself. As for me, I think it's inspired me to read more as someone unfamiliar with most of the English canon. Would recommend if you're in my situation
