Lectures on British Neoclassic Literature (Paperback)

Beginning in 1660 and ending in 1785, the Neoclassic Period in literature includes such great literary works as Jonathan Swift's GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, Alexander Pope's THE RAPE OF THE LOCK, and William Congreve's THE WAY OF THE WORLD. This lecture book is intended primarily as a resource for college students who are studying English literature, but students at other levels may find it useful as well. Presented in clear, easy-to-understand prose, each lecture examines a work (or works) of literature in depth with a careful analysis of structure and literary style.
