English Literary Studies

The Milton S. Eisenhower Memorial Library's collection of literature in English is extensive in both scope and depth. It includes not only literature from England and the United States, but also literary writings in English from Ireland, Canada, Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. Hopkins’ collections in these areas are augmented by the splendid resources of its Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Department.
