From Google Books: “From Chaucer to Tennyson by Henry A. Beers is a fabulous historical overview of English literature from Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century to Alfred, Lord Tennyson in the 19th. The book analyzes works of over 30 authors, including William Shakespeare, John Milton, and Alexander Pope.” Wear on end pages from age, but the inside and cover are in good shape. 1898 vintage book.
