Discovering Literature: Explore literature in context

Discovering Literature brings to life the social, political and cultural context in which key works of literature were written. Enjoy digitised treasures from our collection, newly commissioned articles, short documentary films and teachers’ notes.

Das Portal wird von der British Library betrieben und ermöglicht neben dem grob nach den Epochen der (englischsprachigen) Literaturgeschichte gegliederten Einstieg die Kontexte der literarischen Werke, Artikel und Beiträge von Literaturwissenchaftler*innen und Autor*innen u. a. nach Themen, Autor*innen oder Werken geordnet zu entdecken.
