History of English Literature V4 (1889) is a comprehensive book by Hippolyte A. Taine that explores the development of English literature from its earliest origins up to the end of the 19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a particular period or genre of literature. The author provides detailed analyses of the works of major English writers, including Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, and Wordsworth, among others. Taine's approach to literary history is unique in that he emphasizes the influence of social, political, and cultural factors on the development of literature.
