Functional Criticism: Essays in British American Commonwealth Literature

Literature has the beauty of being ageless, and also being timely, paradoxically enough! This book contains twenty-eight learned articles on wide spectrum of English Literature-British, American, and Commonwealth. Written over a period of three decades by the author, these are being collected together for the first time with the hope that they will prove to be popular essays which will interest not only teachers, researchers and critics but also general readers who are curious about writing and the world of literary work.
