For India, English is not an alien language now. This international language is essential for all the students in universities and for others, who may be aspiring for different competitions and various positions, in the corporate and government setup. Beyond the learning of the language, a thorough study of English Literature is helpful in understanding life better and knowing society, further, in a rational manner. Hence there is always a need for good books to attain knowledge in this regard. Notably English literature is the literature written in the English language, including the literature composed in English by writers, not necessarily from England.
