Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of English Poetry, Vol. 2 of 3: From the Close of the Eleventh Century to the Commencement of the Eighteenth Century, to Which Are Prefixed, Three Dissertations Adam Davie flourished in the beginning of the fourteenth century. Specimens of his poetry. His Life of Alexander. Robert Baston´s comedies. Anecdotes of the early periods of the English, French, and Italian drama. Although much poetry began to be written about the reign of Edward the Second, yet I have found only one English poet of that reign whose name has descended to posterity. This is Adam Davy or Davie. He may be placed about the year 1312. I can collect no circumstances of his life, but that he was marshall of Stratford-le-bow near London. He has left several poems never printed, which are almost as forgotten as his name. Only one manuscript of these pieces now remains, which seems to be coeval with its author. They are Visions, The Battell of Jerusalem, The Legend of Saint Alexius, Scripture Histories, of fifteen Toknes before the Day of Judgement, Lamentations of Souls, and The Life of Alexander.
