Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reginald Pecock, Churchman and Man of Letters: A Study in Fifteenth Century, English Prose, a Dissertation, Submitted to the Faculty of Letters of the Catholic University of America in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The fifteenth century is one of the most difficult periods for the student of English History to contend with. Due to the absence of documentary evidence a great deal of conjecture and obscurity still surrounds the political, social and religious conditions of the times. However, earnest research of comparatively recent date has cast new light upon this obscurity, and conjecture is giving way to certitude, or at least conclusions are being arrived at that will, perhaps, necessitate the recasting of the traditional viewpoint. Fifteenth century literature has also suffered from this traditional viewpoint. Scholars in their zeal to set in relief the literary attainments of the thirteenth century or to embellish the phenomenal outburst of sixteenth century originality, have either neglected altogether the fifteenth century, or have exaggerated the lines of contrast, thus leaving the stigma of mediocrity upon a period that is worthy of greater consideration. The author of the following study first became interested in this period while pursuing a course of lectures on Early English Chroniclers given at the Catholic University of America by Prof. P. J. Lennox, Litt. D. This interest was further stimulated by later studies in fifteenth century drama under Mr. D. Nichol Smith, M. A., at Oxford. The present work had its inception in the library of Duke Humphrey of Gloucester, Oxford. This was a very happy coincidence, since at the beginning of my labours I had not yet come to the realization that the lives of the two great men, Humphrey of Gloucester and Reginald Pecock, were so intimately interwoven.
