This comprehensive four-volume set is an ideal reference for the study of British literature's rich history. Four authoritative A-to-Z volumes cover approximately 1,400 major British writers - primarily dramatists, poets, essayists, and fiction writers - of the 16th through the 20th centuries, with an emphasis on those who are part of the high school curriculum. Entries are organized into a highly readable format that includes a biographical sketch, a synopsis of the writer's major works, and a brief bibliography. Providing essential information on the challenging writers of this period, "Encyclopedia of British Writers: 16th-20th Centuries" is a valuable addition to any high school classroom or library. "British Writers: 16th and 17th Centuries" Volume 1 covers the English Renaissance, with entries on Shakespeare and other major Elizabethan writers such as Christopher Marlowe, Sir Philip Sidney, and more.
