About History and Periods of English Literature
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources follow English literature through its periods. The mind map on British Literature starts early, with the Celts, Britons and the Romans, while the mind map on The Restoration (1660-1702) and the XVIII Century (1702-1798) moves through the reigns of Charles II, James II and William III of Orange. Others cover Renaissance literature, the Romantic Age, Victorian Literature: Key Areas and Modernism.
Authors have their own maps too, including OSCAR WILDE, Jane Austen 1775-1817, D. H. LAWRENCE and William Butler Yeats (3 phases). Sylvia Plath's poetry is there for the confessional tradition.
Where to start
- Open the mind map PERIODS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE or the English Literature Course flowchart for the overall order of the periods.
- Choose one period and read its map, such as Romanticism or the Victorian material.
- Move to an author map to see how one writer fits that period.
- Finish with flashcards such as Periods of English Literature Flashcards or English Literature Quotes.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then test yourself. The quiz Features of time periods checks whether you can place characteristics in the right era. Who's the author? and Match Authors to Periods practise linking names to dates and movements. English Literature II Glossary helps with terms. When a question stumbles you, go back to the matching map and read that branch again.
Who it helps
Some notes are written for school courses, such as the English Literature notes based on A Christmas Carol, Macbeth and An Inspector Calls, which suit GCSE English Literature work. Other material, such as the Unit 51 map on Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, reads like preparation for oposiciones. University students will find survey-style decks and exam review sets. Teachers can pick maps and quizzes to share as they are.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Literary Periods and Traditions strand of the Literature subject. Browse a few resources, then try a quiz or build a map of your own period.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map PERIODS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE or the English Literature Course flowchart. Both give you the order of the periods before you go into detail. After that, pick one era, such as Romanticism or the Restoration, and read its map.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover periods, authors and context. You will find maps on Renaissance literature, the Romantic Age, Victorian Literature: Key Areas and Modernism, plus author maps on Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, D. H. Lawrence and W. B. Yeats. Some also include historical background such as the Restoration monarchs.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.
Which exams and levels do they suit?
The mix is mostly school-level material, with a good share for university students. Listed resources mention GCSE English Literature, A-level English Literature and oposiciones. Check each resource's topic against your own course or syllabus before relying on it.
How can I test myself on periods and authors?
Try the quizzes Features of time periods, Who's the author? and Match Authors to Periods. They ask you to place features, writers and movements in the right era. Then use the flashcard decks to drill quotes and terms.
Can I save my scores or make my own sets?
A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is handy if a period you need is thin here, because you can build your own and add exactly what your course asks for.
