Az angol irodalom története. III–IV: Az 1640-es évektől az 1830-as évekig. Első és második rész [The history of English literature. III: From the 1640s to the 1830s. Parts 1 and 2], edited by Zsolt Komáromy, Bálint Gárdos, and Miklós Péti, Kijárat, Budapest, 2021.

Abstract

Volume 4 of the Hungarian History of English Literature is in fact the second part of volume 3. These volumes together cover the literature of the “long 18th century”, the period between the 1640s and the 1830s, and while volume 3 – after the general introduction – discusses the poetry of the era, volume 4 focuses on drama and prose. Accordingly, volume 4 is divided into two sections, one on drama and one on prose. Each section begins with a useful introduction (by Veronika Schandl and Gabriella Hartvig, respectively), which gives an overview of the issues discussed in more detail in subsequent chapters.
