"A History of Nineteenth Century Literature (1780-1895)" by George Saintsbury

George Edward Bateman Saintsbury was an English critic, literary historian, editor, teacher, and wine connoisseur. Regarded as a highly influential critic of the late 19th and early 20th century, he had the authority necessary to pen a history of how literature developed over the course of the 1800s and examples of earlier literature could have been used to predict this evolution.
