Gill - Mastering English Literature

Published July 2006

'I think students could do with reading a book like this which covers the main ground quickly and simply. It would also do as a 'refresher' book...many books of this kind can be returned to afterwards for a 'remind read.' - Martin Coyle, Chair of English Literature, Cardiff University, UK

The third edition of this leading text provides a comprehensive guide to the what and how of literary study. Attention is paid to the details of literary language and includes a wide variety of examples. In view of the shifts in the teaching of English Literature over recent years, more emphasis has been placed on contextualizing literature and this updated version takes these changes into account by incorporating more material on historical and cultural contexts as well as in-depth discussions on novels, drama and poetry.
