If what you are looking for is a general survey, then what quite a few posters online seem to recommend is [Michael Alexander's History of English Literature] (http://www.amazon.com/History-English-Literature-Palgrave-Foundations/dp/023036831X). While I have not personally read it, online reviews seem to deem it a succinct, crisply-written and reasonably updated text.
However, if you want a comprehensive guide to English Literature along with a sound discussion of the historical and cultural contexts of English society and how literature and social life evolved in England, I'd urge you to look at [Adams's The Land and Literature of England: A Historical Account] (http://www.amazon.com/Land-Literature-England-Historical-Account/dp/0393303438) or alternatively, [Poplawski's English Literature in Context] (http://www.amazon.com/English-Literature-Context-Paul-Poplawski/dp/0521839920).
Go through their table of contents and a few introductory pages. Get a cursory feel for the mode of narration and pick whatever you deem fit for your needs.
