A must purchase, as each volume in this series will be an asset to any library which services secondary level patrons and above.   &#151; Reference Books Bulletin/Booklist (Dec. 15, 2000)

This series of literary criticism from Gale takes a wholly unique approach - it analyzes works from a historical, political, and social perspective rather than a strictly literary view�The World Literature and Its Times series tries to show students the connections between the political and social climate of the time and how the authors used the themes of the day in their works.  By emphasizing the context of literature, it offers a unique perspective and a fresh approach and will be a valuable set in larger school, public, and academic libraries.   -- Booklist (December 2001)
