Material type: Text; Format:
print
; Literary form:
Not fiction
Publication details: New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, c1992
Dissertation note: The precise, unerring, delicately emphatic characterizations for which The Canterbury Tales is so famous are no more extraordinary than Chaucer’s utter mastery of English rhythms and his effortless versification. Ranging from animal fables to miniature epics of courtly love and savagely hilarious comedies of sexual comeuppance, these stories told by pilgrims on the way to the shrine of Thomas à Becket in Canterbury reveal a teeming, vital fourteenth-century English society on the verge of its Renaissance.

Edition: Reprint Edition.
Material type: Text; Format:
print
; Literary form:
Fiction
Publication details: New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, c1992
Dissertation note: Northanger Abbey is a perfectly aimed literary parody that is also a withering satire of the commercial aspects of marriage among the English gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century. But most of all, it is the story of the initiation into life of its naïve but sweetly appealing heroine, Catherine Morland, a willing victim of the contemporary craze for Gothic literature who is determined to see herself as the heroine of a dark and thrilling romance. When she is invited to Northanger Abbey,

The poems / John Keats ; edited by Gerald Bullett ; with an introduction by David Bromwich. by Series: Everyman's library ; 53
Material type: Text; Format:
print
; Literary form:
Not fiction
Publication details: New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, c1992
Dissertation note: John Keats is regarded as the quintessential English Romantic poet: lyrical, passionate, tender, dreamy, sensuous. The only thing more miraculous than his brief career—in which, from the age of eighteen until his death a mere seven years later, he produced a substantial number of the greatest poems in English—are those poems themselves. Nowhere has the pressure of human imagination been brought more powerfully to bear on our mortal condition than in his great narratives and narrative fragments, his sonnets of discovery, and his magnificent odes.

; Literary form:
Not fiction
Publication details: New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, c1992
Dissertation note: f William Shakespeare had never written a single play, if his reputation rested entirely upon the substantial and sterling body of nondramatic verse he left behind, he would still hold the position he does in the hierarchy of world literature. The strikingly modern sonnets–intimate, baroque, and expansive at once; the invigorating narratives drawn from classical subjects; and the flawless lyricism represented by a poem like “The Phoenix and the Turtle
