Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early English Prose Romances, Vol. 1: With Bibliographical and Historical Introductions The thirty years which have passed since the previous Edition was issued, have wrought a great change in the taste of the literary public. The disappointment I experienced, when on the completion of the third volume, I found I had somewhat misjudged the taste of the reading world has however been mitigated by learning from the Publishers of the present edition, that the work has become so scarce and valuable as to justify its being reprinted. The opinion as to the rarity and intrinsic curiosity of these specimens of our early Popular Literature which I held in 1827 has thus been borne out, which after all is no small satisfaction. At the request of the Publishers I have now revised the Introductions to the several Romances, corrected some errors, and made such additions as recent discoveries in the history of Popular Fiction rendered desirable.
