505 0  The purpose of this book is to provide a guide to the 
       literature of the English-speaking world in a single 
       volume. It covers more than a thousand years and includes 
       the literature of Great Britain, the United States, 
       Australia, Canada and New Zealand; the English writing 
       from Ireland and South Africa, and the new and exciting 
       contributions from the West Indies and Nigeria since the 
       Second World War. This book offers the reader more than 
       facts. However, facts are essential: the entries begin 
       with these and all-important dates will also be found. The
       lives of many writers are intrinsically interesting as 
       well as significant to their work, and in cases where the 
       details are known they are given at some length. Major 
       works of poetry, fiction, drama, satire, history, 
       philosophy and religion are described; so are the 
       outstanding characters created by our major writers. A 
       host of subjects and terms merit entries of their own - 
       metrical romances, metaphysical poetry, the Marprelate 
       controversy, the closure of the playhouses: picaresque, 
       latitudinarianism and transcendentalism are some of them. 
       Two major ones, The English Language and The Bible in 
       English, were specially commissioned.
