Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Exemplum in the Early Religious and Didactic Literature of England Although the short story in England has been frequently treated, the subject of the present study has hitherto received comparatively slight attention. The exemplum seems never to have assumed in England the importance that it did on the Continent, but my aim has been to show that its part in English life and literature is by no means negligible. Indeed, owing to the various and far-reaching relationships of the type, I have found it inexpedient to carry out my original design to discuss the exemplum in England in all its phases. The field, therefore, still affords opportunities for profitable research which I hope the following pages may in some measure suggest. In the preparation of the work I have incurred various obligations which are acknowledged with pleasure. For their kind co-operation I desire to thank the librarians of Union Theological Seminary, New York University, and particularly, the librarians and attendants of Columbia University. I am indebted to Professor G. P. Krapp, who proposed the subject, read the manuscript, and offered valuable suggestions; also to Professor H. M. Ayres for reading the manuscript and contributing helpful criticism. My chief obligation is to Professor W .W. Lawrence, who has watched the progress of the work with unfailing interest and has given me the benefit of his accurate and comprehensive knowledge of mediaeval literature.
