Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Tudor Poetry, 1485-1547 If we start de novo, then, there are three factors which combine to condition a writer's work: the literary past as known to him, the present state of thought in his particular world, and his own personality. These are the three unknown factors in the equation. He is conditioned by the past, because we inherit both our lan guage and our forms of expression. Surely it is the use only of the language that is personal; few men have invented even a single word, and the expression to choose your words means merely to select from your pitiqy small proportion of the three hundred thousand words in the New English Dictionary the best words at your command. The choice of what language shall be your mother tongue is as far from your power as is the selection of your grandparents. But on the other hand, just as you are you and not the incarnation of any grandparent, the fact that your speech is inherited does not prevent you from expressing your own personality in your use of it. Quite the contrary in fact, since in your conversation you give your past, your educa tion, your home surroundings and your character, and in thus expressing your own individuality, you yet necessarily speak the language of your epoch. The English of today is not the English of Shakespeare, of Dryden, of Addison, of Wordsworth, or of Tennyson; nor is it the English to be used in the year 2000. The change in language is slow, but certain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: While the music of the Elizabethans is widely known, that of the early Tudors is still mostly unpublished. Dr. Stevens provides a scholarly study of this un-accountably neglected subject, and gives the first full description of three song-books which contain virtually all that remains of English secular song from 1480-1530. Beginning with a detailed description of the song-books, he goes on to discuss the relationship between music and poetry during the period before the Reformation. This is followed by a description of the tradition of the 'courtly makers' from Chaucer to Wyatt, including an important section on the social manifestations of courtly love, and he deals thoroughly with the role of the musician and the quality of musical life at the time. This is a book which for the first time provides the relevant musical and social information on which a fresh assessment of the poetry of the early Tudors can be based. Dr. Stevens's conclusions lead him to question the prevailing view that there was an idealized union of poetry and music in early Tudor England which led up to and culminated in the great Elizabethans. The literary text of the songs in the three song-books is given in an appendix, together with a commentary, a first-line index of some 370 songs, and a list of sources.

Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... 4 Barclay appears in a work incapable of identification. The works of Erasmus most in favor with John Dome's patrons in 1520 are the following, arranged in-4he order of their sales: Colloquia; De Constructions; Copia Verborum et Rerum; Enchiridion Militis Christiana; Adagia; Novum Testamentum; Paraphrasis on various parts of the New Testament; Encomion Moria? (The Praise of Folly); and the dialogue, usually attributed to Faustus Andrelinus, Julius Exclusus.2 Since obviously the sale of any particular work would depend on the length of time it has been before the reading public, and also upon the fluctuations of local interest, little value can be gained from an analysis of the number of copies sold of any work. In general it may be said that the popularity of the second and the third needs no explanation. The De Constructione is a good Latin grammar; the Copia a good rhetoric; as such, the sale of them is interesting only as showing a natural interest in Latin as a medium of expression. Somewhat the same may be argued for the Adagia, a collection of quotations from classic authors, and, perhaps, with the early editions of the Colloquia, the appeal may have been to the study of conversational Latin. But just as the Colloquies are vastly more than merely model conversations, so is Erasmus himself quite other than a mere grammarian. To understand the significance of his immense popularity requires a careful analysis of his work. Unless the readers of his day differed radically from the readers of today, to re-state his popularity in other terms is to say that they found him interesting. And the interest of so many readers is due to the wideness of his appeal. Thus the Adagia, a collection of proverbs from the classics, was bought as a handy...

Book excerpt: John Skelton (c.1460-1529) wrote poetry and some prose, in Latin and English, for almost 40 years, circulating his work through manuscript copies and the new medium of print. This book traces both the course of his public career and his developing personal concerns as he restlessly sought to express ideas which were politically relevant and effective in ways which were also aesthetically satisfying.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962, John Stevens' book examines the complex interplay between lyrical and musical compositions in the courts of Henry VII and VIII. One of the persistent problems for the reader of an English lyric is this: was the poem meant to be sung? and if so, how did music affect the writing, and how should it affect our reading of the poem? Stevens aims to answer these questions by challenging the notion of a traditional union between music and verse. He examines late medieval ideas about music and poetry and the impact of the Reformation on them, and uses the social information about music and musicians to interpret the evidence of the early Tudor songbooks. This book is supplemented by four appendices containing the texts of all the poems in the three main Tudor songbooks together with information about musical settings and related poems, an index of selected songs, a list of sources, and a bibliography of relevant books and articles. It is hoped that this volume will appeal to practising musicians and scholars, as well as anyone for whom music is a continuing intellectual interest and a pleasure.
