Originally published in 1946, this book examines the works of eleven different English authors through a philosophical lens. Laird, who spent the war re-reading English literature, reveals the underlying philosophy of several English classics, including several Shakespearian plays, Robinson Crusoe and Thomas Hardy's The Dynasts. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the philosophical analysis of literature.
