Age of Chaucer (1346–1400)

REVIEWS

“This little monograph may lay fair claim to be regarded as complete, acute, stimulating, and scholarly.”—School World.

“The book is thoroughly up-to-date, an important consideration in dealing with Middle English literature, and does not lose itself in too minute a consideration of those works which are only of philological and not of literary value. The accounts of the W. Midland alliterative poetry, of the development of prose, and the work of the poet Cower, are especially good. The treatment of Chaucer is thorough and scholarly.”—University Correspondent.

“An admirable handbook, dealing in a lucid style and in a highly critical spirit with one of the most important periods in the history of English literature.”—Westminster Review.
