Opis

In England, as late as 1887, a Professor of History at Oxford opposed the establishment of an English Department saying that "English Literature is only chatter about Shelley." But English Schools and Departments in India started functioning much earlier where it was the masters voice, the colonizers tongue, and not a neglected discipline at all.However, shortly following this, there have been tireless attempts in England to turn English into a subject of respect within the University and beyond. This book is an exploration of the story of English in England and beyond.
