The whole glorious span of storytelling. A Little History of Literature by John Sutherland moves from the Epic of Gilgamesh to contemporary graphic novels — a vibrant, celebratory guide to the books that have shaped how civilizations see themselves.
Sutherland traces literature's deep ties to power, identity, and taste, ranging across Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, George Orwell, and Margaret Atwood, with detours through the rude jokes of Anglo-Saxon riddles and the guilty pleasures of potboilers and fan fiction. Witty, deeply learned, and genuinely fun, it helps readers see familiar works anew and points the way toward many they've yet to discover. Part of the celebrated Little Histories series.
Every great book starts a conversation.
