The Grounds of English Literature
Cannon, Christopher (, Fellow of Girton College and a University Lecturer in the Faculty of English, Cambridge)
The centuries just after the Norman Conquest are the forgotten period of English Literary History. Yet the years 1066-1300 witnessed an unparalleled ingenuity in the creation of written forms. Using an innovative theory of literary form applied to a series of detailed readings of the more important early Middle English works, Cannon shows how the many and varied texts of the period laid the foundations for the project of English Literature.
