A vibrant guide to the world of literature, from dramatic plays to
engrossing novels &,nbsp, Literature has inspired every
civilisation, from Greek myth to today’s graphic novels. John
Sutherland, who has researched, taught and written on the entire
glorious span of human literary activity, here guides readers on a
journey ‘through the looking glass’ to show how literature from
across the world can transport us, transfix us, and teach us about
ourselves. &,nbsp, He introduces key works, from
the&,nbsp,Epic of Gilgamesh&,nbsp,and Shakespeare to
T.S.Eliot, George Orwell and Margaret Atwood, and looks afresh at
literature’s links to power, identity and taste. From the rude
jokes within Anglo-Saxon riddles to the guilty pleasures of
potboilers and fan fiction, this celebratory guide offers wit,
humour and deep learning to all who enjoy literature, and who want
to understand it anew. &,nbsp,Little Histories – Inspiring
