Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the EDITOR'S PREFACE.CTHERE may be some, who will attach value and interest to the singular old volume, now first reproduced in exact imitation of the original, on account of the casual mention of it by Shakespeare in one of his plays; but I hope and think that many more will welcome its appearance on another and higher ground, and will become of opinion that, where a solitary copy of such a relic as the earliest jest-book in the national tongue of England is only to be found in a foreign repository, and is liable to destruction at any moment, the survival, not of its mere substance alone, but of its very identity, in the shape of a facsimile, is one of those minor duties, which we owe to succeeding generations. In the good former days, a gentleman who did his friends and the public the favour of reprinting a curious old book, was regarded as a sort of benefactor by a few who knew a little about the matter, and by the greater number, who knew nothing, he was considered a person of elegant tastes and of liberal disposition; for he usually engaged in the speculation on his own responsibility. The case is now altogether altered, and anyone who proposes to give to the world a new edition of an old book or tract, is in peril of being received as a Frenchman receives the news of his third child, unless he can make out a pretty strong plea for his proceeding. He must bring his justification in his hand. The burden of proof is upon him. In the present instance, the enterprise on which the Editor has entered, is one which seems, at first sight, not to be without its element of superfluity, for in 1866 the book which is now in question was brought out under the care of Dr. Herman Oesterley from the same copy which I employ. But I believe that I hold, notwithstanding, a very fair brief for my clients; for it was considered that the Hundred Merry Tales had so many claims to special consideration: -as being the most ancient book of its kind in the English language; as existing only in a complete state in a single copy preserved in a Continental library; and as the volume, out of which, in Much Ado about Nothing, 1600, Beatrice tells us she had been charged with stealing all her good wit. So the great poet makes her say, at least; but the accusation was, so far as we can judge, an unfair one, and between the wit of the book and that of the lady there is little in common. When the present editor republished the work as one of a collection more than twenty years ago, he had access only to the text of Singer; he had, at a later period, an opportunity of collating it with the original, at that time in the possession of Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps; but the copy, as it is tolerably well-known, had been made up from an assortment of mutilated leaves, and presented a considerable number of lacunae, including entire tales, so that, until the Göttingen copy occurred, we had. in fact no means of studying this, in every sense, unique publication in its full integrity.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of English Prose 1500 1640 written by Andrew Hadfield and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of English Prose 1500-1640 is the only current overview of early modern English prose writing. The aim of the volume is to make prose more visible as a subject and as a mode of writing. It covers a vast range of material vital for the understanding of the period: from jestbooks, newsbooks, and popular romance to the translation of the classics and the pioneering collections of scientific writing and travel writing; from diaries, tracts on witchcraft, and domestic conduct books to rhetorical treatises designed for a courtly audience; from little known works such as William Baldwin's Beware the Cat, probably the first novel in English, to The Bible, The Book of Common Prayer and Richard Hooker's eloquent statement of Anglican belief, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. The work not only deals with the range and variety of the substance and types of English prose, but also analyses the forms and styles of writing adopted in the early modern period, ranging from the Euphuistic nature of prose fiction inaugurated by John Lyly's mannered novel, to the aggressive polemic of the Marprelate controversy; from the scatological humour of comic writing to the careful modulations of the most significant sermons of the age; and from the pithy and concise English essays of Francis Bacon to the ornate and meandering style of John Florio's translation of Montaigne's famous collection. Each essay provides an overview as well as comment on key passages, and a select guide to further reading.
