History of English Literature

This is app is about "A Brief History of English and American Literature" written by
Henry A. BEERS. This book has been divided into two sections: The first one is about English Literature, while the second part deals with the history of American Literature. Henry Augustin Beers, native of Buffalo, NY and professor of English at Yale, with the help of John Fletcher Hurst (1834-1903), Methodist bishop and first Chancellor of American University, has written a sweeping thousand 900 year history of English literature, up to the end of the 19th century.

His research is sound and his criticism is interesting and quite often very balanced. In addition, the last chapter of each part is Hurst's synopsis of religious and theological literature in the language. This book is interesting for its point of view, but also useful as a jumping-off point for those interested in reading the classics.

The first part of the book consists of 09 chapters, while the second part consists of 08 chapters. I have tried to present this beautiful book about English literature in an android app so that the students of English literature may benefit from it.
