The 1880-1920 British Authors Series

IN 1957, Professor Helmut E. Gerber recognized the need for a journal that would focus attention on late-Victorian and early-twentieth-century British literature. He founded English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920 at Purdue University.

ELT Press was founded in 1988 to complement ELT with its 1880-1920 British Authors Series, offering book-length studies on turn-of-the-century British writers. Even today, as scholars and librarians know, publishers more readily print titles that feature the names such as Joyce, Yeats, or Woolf. This has always neglected a host of important British authors regarded as essential to the study of the Transition era and modernism.

Choice:  "This important series draws attention to writers who have fallen into relative obscurity
for reasons that have nothing to do with their stature.... Highly recommended."
