British Writers: Supplement VIII

The new supplement to this authoritative source for students and general researchers, which is cited in Guide to Reference Books. Twenty essays each focus on the life and works of a particular author, identifying pertinent historical, literary, and social context, and ending with a bibliography. The range of subjects stretches from literature written in Old Norse (a precursor of modern English) to such contemporary poets and playwrights as Michael Longley, Simon Armitage, Peter Reading, Alan Bennett and Sarah Kane.
