I think that I ran across something today that might be useful to you!

The Great Courses has a few literature courses which offer exclusively British/English content. As I mentioned, they tend to break things out further, but the coverage looks good other than that, and you might be able to put together two or three of these to make up an entire indenpendent study course with the scope that you're seeking.



This one is pretty lengthy and thorough:
Classics of British Literature

These seem to be a little more in-depth coverage but with a narrower focus:

Lives and Works of the English Romantic Poets-- that one is only available as an audio download.

The English Novel

(Bonus-- that last one is on SALE right now... which I highly recomment with TGC/TTC by the way, as their materials are frightfully expensive when they are regular price, and they go on sale in rotating fashion throughout the year... I can also PM you the code for 99 cent shipping if you like.)
