By Lewis Worthington Smith and Esse Virginia Hathaway

Book Overview

The Sky Line In English Literature is a book written by Lewis W. Smith that explores the representation of the sky in English literature. The book delves into the various ways in which the sky has been used as a literary device by English writers throughout history, from the earliest Anglo-Saxon poems to modern works. Smith examines how the sky has been used to convey emotions, set the tone, and create atmosphere in literature.
