some indication of the richnessand variety of literature in Britain from the earliest records of its exist-ence to the present age.It attempts also to place works of literature inrelation to the flow of historical events.History and literature are broughttogether in a typographic form that is designed to be attractive andimmediately understandable.Here,arranged in chronological order,areenough names and titles to suggest something of the wealth of Englishliterature and literature in English.However,these titles represent only atiny proportion of the numbers of books that have added to the sum ofculture during the last thirteen centuries.A short visit to any good librarywill make this instantly clear.  \nStudents of literature sometimes lack a sense of the continuum ofliterature in modern history.The long-lasting inheritance of the NewCriticism,and in Britain of F.R.Leavis,is that literature is studied viaGreat Works,often seen as isolated texts,and not second-hand throughliterary histories.Though this method has inestimable advantages,itsometimes seems tacitly to suggest that nothing much happened for largestretches of time,between,say,Chaucer and Shakespeare,or Pope andWordsworth.Survey courses of literary periods may give some impres-sion of the background to the great works,but patchily.Meanwhile manycourses and exam curricula are devoted more and more to twentieth-century literature.If literature is to do anything it should develop theimagination,and this should include the historical imagination:the past isa foreign country which we must visit in order to gain a perspective on ourown land,and which should teach us sympathy,tolerance and under-standing.The present can hardly be understood without relation to thepast.This chronology cannot hope to excite interest in past literaturesimply by listing names and dates,but it does provide a visual display ofthe development,continuity and variety of literary culture.  \n#
