Concise Cambridge History of English Literature

Sampson's Concise History was first published in 1941. Basically it was then a summary, in readable form, of the great Cambridge History, with some personal touches by Sampson. The second edition had a substantial new chapter by R. C. Churchill on twentieth-century literature and appeared in 1961. The present edition, prepared by Mr Churchill, provides a revision of the first thirteen chapters. Three very substantial new chapters are now added which have the effect of making this the only complete and up-to-date survey of world literature in English.Sampson, George is the author of 'Concise Cambridge History of English Literature', published 1970 under ISBN 9780521095815 and ISBN 0521095816.
