| Summary | "Histoire de la Littérature Anglaise (Volume 1 de 5)" by Hippolyte Taine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the development and significance of English literature, examining its origins and the cultural influences that shaped it. Taine delves into the relationship between literature, society, and human psychology as he outlines the evolution of literary forms and styles. At the start of this comprehensive examination, the author introduces the concept that literature is a reflection of the surrounding morals and cultural climate. He argues that literary works can reveal insights into the thoughts and emotions of people from different eras. Taine emphasizes the importance of reconstructing the historical context of literary texts, presenting a nuanced analysis of the Saxons and their contributions to early English literature. By establishing how environmental factors, such as climate and social circumstances, influenced the Saxon way of life and their artistic expressions, he sets the stage for a deeper exploration of English literature's development in subsequent chapters.
