Halleck’s New English Literature by Reuben Post Halleck is an illustrated history of English literature, tracing its development from early Anglo-Saxon writing through the twentieth century.

Includes a color frontispiece depicting the Fortune Theatre during an Elizabethan play, along with author portraits and other illustrations. Chapters cover the age of Chaucer, Elizabethan literature, the Puritan period, the Restoration, Romanticism, Victorian literature, and twentieth-century writing. Supplementary author listings and an index provide additional reference material.
