They Wrote in English: A Survey of British and American Literature

This series mainly contains papers relating to volume two (the anthology) of Burgess's literary history.

Burgess's two volume history of British and American literature was first published in Milan by Tramontana in 1979. Volume 1 is a literary history from the fall of the Roman Empire in Britain to the present day, and volume 2 is an accompanying anthology from the earliest recorded poetry to the most recently published prose.
