This enlarged 1950 edition traces the development of literature from the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome through the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Enlightenment, and into the modern era. Written by a distinguished group of contributors, the work combines historical background with critical appreciation, introducing readers to the major authors, movements and masterpieces that have shaped Western thought and culture.\n         \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003cbr\u003e\n         \u003c\/div\u003e\n         \u003cdiv\u003e\n          Unlike a mere catalogue of names and dates, the volume seeks to convey the vitality and enduring influence of great writing. Particular attention is given to the interplay between literature, art, religion and society, illustrating how successive generations of writers reflected and influenced the world around them. Richly illustrated throughout with numerous plates reproducing famous paintings and artworks, the book provides a broader cultural context and transforms what might otherwise be a conventional reference work into a handsome and engaging literary companion.\n         \u003c\/div\u003e\n         \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003cbr\u003e\n         \u003c\/div\u003e\n         Published by George Newnes Limited, London, in 1950, this revised edition was completely reset and enlarged, reflecting the continuing evolution of literary scholarship in the mid-twentieth century. Bound in its original gilt-decorated cloth and produced to the high standards associated with the publisher, The Outline of Literature remains an attractive and substantial survey of world literature. Equally suited to collectors of literary history and readers seeking a comprehensive introduction to the great traditions of poetry, drama and prose, it stands as a testament to the enduring power and significance of the written word.\"\n        \u003c\/font\u003e\n       \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n  \u003cfont rwr=\"1\" style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n    \u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n     \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       Light wear to covers and spine as shown.
