HISTORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE VOLUME 4 - FRANCO...

History of English Literature is a comprehensive  eight-volume survey of English literature
from the Middle Ages to the early twenty-first century. This reference work provides insightful
and often revisionary readings of core texts in the English literary canon. Richly informative
analyses are framed by the biographical  historical and intellectual context for each
author.Volume 4 begins with a focus on the pivotal function of religion in the mid-nineteenth
century and explores the resulting oscillation between Romantic escape  sceptical solipsism and
social responsibility in the poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning  Tennyson  Browning  Clough
and Matthew Arnold. The aegis of religion was only broken by the advent of Pre-Raphaelitism.
This trajectory is reflected in a series of well-known enigmatic masterworks by the Rossettis.
