영어영문학(English Language & Literature)

옥스퍼드 영문학사는 앵글로색슨 시대부터 제2차 세계대전 이후와 포스트모더니즘 문학을 포괄하는 최신판 영문학통사를 한국어로 옮긴 책이다.
20세기 말부터 활발히 논의되는 바 확자오딘 영문학의 지평을 가늠하기에 적합한 영문학사로서 영문학이 현대 정치, 사회, 지성 발전에 끼친 영향을 검토했다. 지은이는 10장으로 나눈 각 시대마다 정치경제사, 문화사적 환경과 연관 속에서 문제의 핵심을 정확하게 짚어가면서 구체적이고 견실한 언술로서 학문적 권위를 확보한 반면, 난삽하지 않은 규명과 정의를 이로정연한 문장으로 풀어 나갔다.

Offering an introduction to British literature challenging traditional eighteenth-century and Romantic studies, this Companion explores the development of literary genres and modes in a period of rapid change. Its contributors demonstrate how literature was influenced by such historical factors as the development of the book trade, the rise of literary criticism and the expansion of commercial society and empire. Linking established authors with those gaining new attention from scholars, the collection's broad scope makes it essential reading for students of eighteenth-century literature and Romanticism.
