Top text block edge a little dust marked, previous owner's name neatly inked on front free endpaper, else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout.

Taking 1895 - the year in which H G Wells and Joseph Conrad published their first novels and Thomas Hardy his last - as his starting point, Kenner explorers with a critical eye, the development of English literature under strong commercial pressures, visiting the works of the likes of Armold Bennett, Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde, D H Lawrence, Ezra Pound and D H Lawrence.
