  • PREFACE

    This book has been specially written for the candidates preparing for the

    UGC–NET/JRF/SET and other competitive examinations of the same level. It covers

    the latest revised and updated syllabus prescribed by the UGC for Paper-II for the

    above noted examinations. The book covers all the Literary Ages in the History of

    English Literature in the Objective Questions-Form from the Pre-Chaucerian Age to

    the Modern Age, together with the American, Indo-Anglian and Greek, Latin and

    other non-British English Literature of European countries. It also has two chapters

    on Literary Theory and Criticism and Rhetoric and Prosody in the Objective

    Questions-form as required by the UGC. All types of Objective Questions, such as

    Multiple-Choice Questions, True or False Type, Matching-Type and Assertion-

    Reasoning Type Questions have been given in each chapter of the book. Answers to

    all the questions have been given at the end of each chapter.

    A special feature of this book, which makes it distinct from other books

    written within the same parameters, is that in it each Literary Age has been intro-

    duced with a brief but highly informative survey of the Age together with its broad

    features, its important historical and literary events and a genre-wise complete list of

    the important authors and their works. Thus the book is both a Chronological as

    well as an Objective-Type History of English Literature at the same time.

    It is hoped that the book would prove of immense value to those for whom it

    has specially been designed as well as to the general reader of English Literature.
