Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, Vol. 11: And Popular Literature of the Middle Ages The curious poem of The Owl and the Nightingale has already been printed by the Roxburghe Club, in 1838, under the title, The Owl and the Nightingale, a poem of the twelfth century. It is found in two manuscripts, both of the thirteenth century; one in the British Museum, Ms. Cotton. Calig. A. IX., from which the present text is printed; the other in the library of Jesus College, Oxford. The date of the composition of this piece is a matter of some doubt. Mr. Stevenson, the editor of the Roxburghe volume, believed that it was written in the reign of Richard I, and that the king Henry, whose death is alluded to at p. 38 of the present edition, was Henry II. On the other hand. Sir Frederick Madden (note on Warton´s History of English Poetry, new edition, 1840, vol. i. p. 25), thinks the king alluded to was Henry III, and that our poem was composed early in the reign of Edward I. I confess that I am inclined to think the king referred to was Henry II. . About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
