Great research when you can't do in-depth research
The "Guide to English Literature" is a must have for any literature student's ready reference.I personally keep mine on my desk where I can get it easily.

The guide gives you information on the major movers and shakers in English Literature as well as the great movements, works, and figures (maybe not literary, but important...like kings).While preparing for the GRE Literature in English test, I have been using this book to get a good background on the great writers.At the end of each entry, there is a small bibliography which will give you a headstart in further research should you choose to do so.

I would recommend having this book on your personal shelf for your reference.It will help you establish a bigger picture of where writers and movements have taken place and who they have affected. ... Read more

Amongst other things, Wynne Davies discusses 16th- and 17th-century poetry in its political and cultural contexts, considers Renaissance drama in terms of performance space, and uses the early modern map to explain the prose works of writers such as Bunyan and Cavendish. ...

Product Description
Man's debt to the horse is immeasurable. For thousands of years before recorded history, man pushed forward his civilizations on the back of a horse. Man and horse are inextricably woven together into a relationship which is without equal in the rest of creation. Even Man's "best friend," the dog, cannot claim the impact of the horse. This noble animal has been food and transport, the innocent participant in wars, and, at one time his Deity and the honored companion of his Deities-the symbol of majesty and power. The Sacred Horse is rooted deep within archetypal memory. 240 pages, illustrated. ... Read more

Product Description
Animals affected the everyday lives of the Celts. The Celts saw animals as representations, representatives and messengers of their deities. They took animal names for themselves and their tribes and saw portents and auguries in animals' movements and behavior. Animals featured extensively in Celtic legends and decorated their weapons, houses and accoutrements. Celtic shamans linked with animals and their warriors and hunters invoked the power of totem animals to help in their endeavors. This book details the myths, legends and correspondences linking the Celts and the animal world. Brilliantly illustrated by Simon Rouse. ... Read more
