This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading English Verse in Manuscript, c.1350-c.1500 is the first book-length history of reading for later Middle English poetry. While much past work in the history of reading has revolved around marginalia, this book consults a wider range of evidence, from the weights of books in medieval bindings to relationships between rhyme and syntax. It combines literary-critical close readings, detailed case studies of particular surviving codices, and systematic manuscript surveys drawing on continental European traditions of quantitative codicology to demonstrate the variety, vitality, and formal concerns visible in the reading of verse in this period. The small- and large-scale formal features of poetry affected reading subtly but extensively, determining how readers might move through books and even shaping physical books themselves. Readers' responses to one formal feature, rhyme, meanwhile, evince a habitual but therefore deep-rooted formalism which can support and enhance close readings today. Reading English Verse in Manuscript sheds fresh light on poets such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Lydgate, and Thomas Hoccleve, but also shows how their works were read in manuscript in the context of a much larger mass of anonymous poems that influenced canonical poems, in a pattern of mutual influence.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England in Verse I have endeavoured in the following little work to render the acquisition of the material facts of English History more easy and pleasant than it had heretofore been - for the benefit, not solely of Examination Students, but also of all those whose position in society demands from them a general knowledge of this interesting subject. It is a matter of common observation that any bare isolated fact makes a far more lasting impression on the mind when clothed in simple rhyme than when drily detailed in prose. Nursery books, intended to teach children the rudiments of knowledge, are usually in rhyme: boys at school patch up, as it were instinctively, doggerel verses to commemorate the knotty points of their maturer studies; while, to candidates for the higher examinations, verse, however rough and simple, is an aid which has saved many an over-crammed brain from hopeless confusion.
