Download or read book Reliques of Ancient English Poetry Vol 1 3 written by Various Authors and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 1044 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work gives a unique opportunity to dive into the world of ancient British poetry and legends. Here, a reader will find the primary sources for the epic stories about Gilderoy, Winifred, Bryan, Sir Cauline, King Estmere, Sir Guy, King Arthur, the Fairy Queen, and many more. A collection in three volumes contains numerous works by famous and anonymous authors adapted to modern English. The significance of this work is apparent. It was the first collection of ballades in English poetry of this size. It influenced the Romantic movement greatly and contributed to the revivals of ballades in England. Robert Burns, Wordsworth, and Coleridge based their lyric poems on this collection. Although, this work could never see the light of the day. Back in the 18th century, Irish Bishop Thomas Percy saved a manuscript almost set afire by a housemaid. It was an ancient collection of ballades, which inspired the Bishop for further research. Today, it's not just an important historical book; it is also a great source of study materials as well as an exciting read for anyone fond of history and British poetry.

Download or read book The History of English Poetry Vol 1 of 3 written by Thomas Warton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of English Poetry, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Close of the Eleventh to the Commencement of the Eighteenth Century HE Edition of 1824, in four volumes octavo, which has for some time been out of print, and upon which the present is founded, has been generally esteemed for its correctness, and for a valuable body of materials for the illustration of the work collected by Mr. Park, including numerous manuscript notes by Ritson, Ashby, Douce, and other eminent antiquaries*, but especially on account of the important corrections and additions made by its much-lamented Editor, Mr. Richard Price; for whom, though his name did not appear on its publication, it deservedly obtained considerable reputation. With regard to what he contributed under the head of addi tions, may be mentioned in particular his notes, or rather essays, on the Lais of Marie de France, on the Saxon Ode on the Victory of Athelstan, on the Romance of Sir Tristram, on the Visions of Piers Plouhman, and his learned Preface, in which is con tain ed a very interesting view of the inquiries that form the subjects of Warton's work, the manner in which he has treated them, their progress since the publication of his work, and of the controversies to which it gave rise. The corrections made by Mr. Price must be considered also as having added much to the value of the edition; both those which apply to errors in War ton's glossarial notes, and those which resulted from a collation of many of the specimens with manuscripts in the British Museum or editions of acknowledged fidelity. The latter, from the great carelessness of Warton as a transcriber, were very numerous, and not less important, many passages having been rendered quite unintelligible from errors in copying.

This book was released on 2008-07-28 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Greenfield and Robinson state in their preface that they have sought to include every book, monograph, article, note, and review published on Old English literature since the invention of printing. They have come as close to doing so as two descendants of Adam possibly can, undeterred by the trouble at Babel. (By my count, thirty different languages are represented in the bibliography, sixteen of them frequently.) Rarely has any bibliography in any other discipline equalled the thoroughness and accuracy of this one. It is a contribution for which Greenfield and Robinson will long receive from their colleagues that measure of gratitude reserved for Old English scholarship's most bounteous treasure-givers."--Carl T. Berkhout"What astonishes is how well [Greenfield and Robinson] have succeeded in what they set out to do, how uniformly excellent their volume is in all its profusion of information and detail. . . . The Bibliography will bring scholars that peculiar joy in complex intellectual work done well that only they know; it will be immensely useful, virtually indispensable--if not a vade mecum because of its size . . . then at least an enchiridion with which they will fight their battles on behalf of Beowulf and Brunanburb and the Blickling Homilies."--The Old English Newsletter"[A] volume long needed, [the Bibliography] will now become an indispensable reference work for every student of Old English literature from the beginner to the acknowledged authority."--British Book News
