Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pearl: An English Poem of the Fourteenth Century, Edited With a Modern Rendering Elizabethan literature has received its full share of recognition during the past decade; it is perhaps time that some attempt should be made to interest Englishmen in the rich treasures of earlier English literature. Two causes contribute to the prevailing ignorance concerning the writers of pre-Conquest and pre-Tudor times. In the first place, there is the real difficulty of language; in the second, the fact that a large number of our early texts, more especially the Anglo-Saxon poems, have not as yet found adequate interpretation. The Early English Text Society has done, and is still doing, great work of national importance in bringing to the light of day and rescuing from oblivion much that has remained hidden for centuries, but its publications appeal rather to the specialist than to the general public; moreover, the history of the Society represents the history of English studies in this country, and consequently several of its earliest issues, and these by no means the least important texts, arc naturally behind the present advanced state of English scholarship.
