This present volume is the outcome of a feeling I have had for a long time, that the Indian student cannot profit greatly by the study of English language & Literature unless he clearly understand them, on account of the labor involved in collecting the necessary material, which is not all available at one place and in a suitable form. I have done best to my explanations as lucid as possible. I intend the volume to serve as a stepping-stone to further study. The book cannot, of course, pretend to be a complete record of all the forms and phases of English Language & Literature, but it contains a selection of those which I regard myself as a major interest and importance. This book broadly covers various literary theories like Post colonialism, Cultural Studies, Feminism, Stylistics, and Discourse Analysis etc. An effort has been made to keep the description clear, simple and brief. This book is free from linguistic jargon and will be of great use to an inquisitive reader. I am indebted to all the eminent writers, whose books and research papers have influenced my learning of various subjects. I am grateful to Dr. K. Naveen Kumar for having kindly given the Foreword to the book. I wish to thank the Former Head of the Department of English, Annamalai University, Dr. S. Padmini and Dr. S. Barathwaj for their constant support and encouragement for the publication of this book. I am very much grateful to Dr. B. Suresh, Head of the Department, RKM Vivekananda College, University of Madras, for the invaluable guidance and suggestions, which have set my work in a clear perspective. I wish to thank the faculty members of BWDA Arts & Science College for their kind co-operation. On a personal note I wish to express my gratitude and regards to my parents Mr. S. Saruguna Doss and Mrs. S. Thara for showering their blessings upon me. I would like to place a bouquet of thanks to my lovable sisters Mrs. S. Hema and Mrs. S. Banu, for acting as a catalyst to the whole endeavor. Without their encouragement and co-operation this work would not have seen the light of the day. Last but not least my thanks are due to my friends, Mr. A. PilmcoDass, Assistant Professor and Mr. S.S. Sathish Kumar, Ph.D Research Scholar, Tiruvaluvar University for extending their love, affection and co-operation throughout the period of work.

This 2003 book is a full-scale history of early modern English literature, offering perspectives on English literature produced in Britain between the Reformation and the Restoration. While providing the general coverage and specific information expected of a major history, its twenty-six chapters address recent methodological and interpretive developments in English literary studies. The book has five sections: 'Modes and Means of Literary Production, Circulation, and Reception', 'The Tudor Era from the Reformation to Elizabeth I', 'The Era of Elizabeth and James VI', 'The Earlier Stuart Era', and 'The Civil War and Commonwealth Era'. While England is the principal focus, literary production in Scotland, Ireland and Wales is treated, as are other subjects less frequently examined in previous histories, including women's writings and the literature of the English Reformation and Revolution. This history is an essential resource for specialists and students.

The study of medieval literature has experienced a revolution in the last two decades, which has reinvigorated many parts of the discipline and changed the shape of the subject in relation to the scholarship of the previous generation. 'New' texts (laws and penitentials, women's writing, drama records), innovative fields and objects of study (the history of the book, the study of space and the body, medieval masculinities), and original ways of studying them (the Sociology of the Text, performance studies) have emerged. This has brought fresh vigour and impetus to medieval studies, and impacted significantly on cognate periods and areas. The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Literature in English brings together the insights of these new fields and approaches with those of more familiar texts and methods of study, to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of medieval literature today. It also returns to first principles in posing fundamental questions about the nature, scope, and significance of the discipline, and the directions that it might take in the next decade. The Handbook contains 44 newly commissioned essays from both world-leading scholars and exciting new scholarly voices. Topics covered range from the canonical genres of Saints' lives, sermons, romance, lyric poetry, and heroic poetry; major themes including monstrosity and marginality, patronage and literary politics, manuscript studies and vernacularity are investigated; and there are close readings of key texts, such as Beowulf, Wulf and Eadwacer, and Ancrene Wisse and key authors from Ælfric to Geoffrey Chaucer, Langland, and the Gawain Poet.

This book explores the importance of history to Elizabethan and early Stuart gentry and how this led to a vibrant antiquarian culture. The family, town and county histories written by the community, which form the core of the study, had an influence on the development of local history in England which lasted into the twentieth century and is still felt today. Eschewing a narrow historiographical approach, the author examines a range of manuscript and published works and other material reflecting the gentry's interest in the past: pedigree rolls, antiquarian notebooks, heraldic displays and maps. The book provides a survey of the development of local history in England from its medieval origins to 1660. This is followed by chapters on the practicalities of local historical research: the national educational and institutional framework, the development of regional networks of local historians and the gentlemen who controlled access to their sources, and analysis of the source materials available. The final section features chapters on genealogy, didacticism and the physical world.
