About this book
Beowulf comes first and Swinburne last in Andrew Lang's history of English literature. Chapters on Anglo-Saxon poetry and prose, with Cædmon, Cynewulf, Bede, Alfred and the Chronicle, lead on to the Norman Conquest, Geoffrey of Monmouth's Arthur stories, Layamon's Brut and the rhymed romances. Lang chose his names with care. He gives the greatest authors the most space, names few philosophers and theologians, and says his aim is to send readers to the authors' own books.
