LANDMARKS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE by ILLIT GRONDAHL First Edition- Hardback

A vintage good hardcover used First Edition copy of LANDMARKS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE by ILLIT GRONDAHL.

"THE present brief survey of English Literature is based on a small book of the same title by Mr. Rolf Pande, teacher of English and French in the higher school in Oslo, Norway, and the present author. Considerations of space and of the time devoted to the subject have not allowed treating of more than the foremost names, and general views have hardly been attempted. The contributions of Scotland and Ireland are barely mentioned, and American and other overseas Literature is no more than sketched. The endeavour has on the whole been to present leading literary personalities rather than special types of literary art. Many of the dates have been added to give definition to the sparse chrono-logy, and are meant to be a help and not a burden. It is hoped that, with the present modification and amplification, especially as regards more recent literature, the book may serve as an introduction to the subject in a wider field."
