English Literature and English History

'Every man belongs to his race and age , and no matter how marked his personality, the spirit of his race and age finds expression through him .' - An Outline History of English Literature ,  William Henry Hudson , B.I. Publications (P) Ltd., New Delhi , First Edition 1961, Reprinted 1994, page 5

'Ordinary English history is our nation's biography ,its literature is its autobiography ; in the one we read the story of its actions and practical achievements ; in the other the story of its intellectual and moral development . - same , page 6.

'English literature and literatre in English have now merged together in such a way that mere English history is now awfully insufficient from the viewpoint of the study of English literature .'
                                                                                            - Dr Om Prakash Pandey
