The Concise Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature 600 - 1950

“The Concise Bibliography” begins with a general introductory section listing reference works, books of general history and criticism, collections and anthologies, books on prosody and the book trades, grammars, and dictionaries. The rest of the book is divided into six periods: Old English (600-1100); Middle English (1100-1500); the Renaissance to the Restoration (1500-1660); the Restoration to the romantics (1660-1800); the nineteenth century; the early twentieth century (to 1950). The authors chosen are British (though James and Eliot are included), not American or Commonwealth; but the biographical, critical and historical works do take account of the scholarship of other English speaking countries.

Published 1966.
