While retaining a core of material covered in previous editions, the text is enriched with the addition of two brand new chapters addressing the period of Anglo–Latin culture in England, as well as writing genres traditionally considered outside canonical English literary circles.

In widening the literary spectrum covered, this revised edition highlights the intersections between theoretical and general cultural reading which breeds from a broadly understood scholarly endeavour.
