Welcome to Literature-study-online, a site dedicated to the study and enjoyment of English literature. The site has grown from my own enthusiasm for reading and studying literature. I hope you find it useful. Throughout the site, the Bookshop links are intended to assist anyone wishing to find or purchase books. The Google search boxes will help you search this site, or the web.
This site is run by one person. I am the editor and co-author of The Essentials of Literature in English Post-1914 published by Hodder Arnold in 2005. I contributed to GCSE Kit: English Literature Post-1914 by Chris Webster, published by Hodder & Stoughton in 2003. I have an honours degree in English Literature from the University of Reading, a Postgraduate Diploma in Librarianship from University of West London, and an online teaching certificate from the IITT. I taught a course on English Literature for the London School of Journalism, for whom I have also taught Short Story and Novel Writing, Improve Your English, and English for Business.
