About This Book
The author offers a concise, comparative survey showing how English literature has incorporated forms, themes, and ideas from Greek, Latin, medieval and modern European and Near Eastern sources. Chapters trace specific currents from classical antiquity through the Dark Ages into French and Italian borrowings, and summarize Spanish, German, Celtic, and Hebrew influences, illustrated by examples such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Shelley. Intended as an accessible guide for students, the work emphasizes interdependence over originality, provides epitomes rather than exhaustive scholarship, and concludes with synoptical tables and indexes to aid further study.
