This book is intended for those many thousand of general readers who accept with genuine respect
what is known as our literary heritage, but who might none the less hesitate to describe intimately the work of such writers as Pope, George Eliot, Langland, Marvell, Yeats, Tourneur, Hopkins, Crabbe, or D. H. Lawrence, or to fit them into any larger pattern of growth and development. It is with such readers in mind that this guide to the history and traditions of our literature, this countour-map to the literary scene, has been planned. It attempts to draw up an ordered account of literature that is concerned, firts and foremost, with value for the present, and as a direct encouragement to people to read for themselves.
