Summary: "English Literature, Considered as an Interpreter of English History" by Henry Coppée is a scholarly work that combines literary analysis with historical commentary and was written in the late 19th century. The book aims to explore the interrelationship between English literature and history, emphasizing how literature reflects and interprets historical contexts and events. It examines major literary figures such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton, linking their works to the eras they lived in and the events that shaped English society. The opening of the text sets the stage for this in-depth inquiry by outlining its objectives and the methodology Coppée intends to employ throughout the work. He clarifies that the book will not simply provide a chronological list of authors but will investigate the historical connections of English literature to significant cultural and political events. The introduction also delves into the evolution of the English language and how it has been shaped by various conquests and influences, providing context for the literary masterpieces that follow. This groundwork establishes a comprehensive framework for readers to understand how the literature of England is intertwined with its history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
