Book Description
Excerpt from English History in the Fourteenth Century State of England in the 14th Century. - Towards the end of the thirteenth century England was perhaps the best ordered and most prosperous state in Europe. Politi cally, indeed, its power was small, for our kings only retained a portion of their old dominions in France, and these, it might seem, merely by sufferance. Scotland was independent under a native dynasty, a great part of Ireland was in reality unconquered. Nevertheless, three quarters of a century passed in comparative peace had doubled the population, and more than doubled its wealth respect for law had grown to an extent unknown elsewhere and the serfs were rapidly being enfranchised. The annexation of North Wales had delivered the English marches from the dread of invasion. There were no towns in England except London that could vie with the wealth of Ghent or Bruges in Flanders, or of Venice and Florence in Italy 3 but the English towns were parts of a compact dominion, at peace with one another, and protected by the armies of a whole kingdom. Our kings could not bring into the field as many thousand soldiers as gathered under the banners of the French monarchs.

Excerpt from English Writers, Vol. 2 of 2: A History of English Literature; The Fourteenth Century Rule. Made the maintenance or modification of the rule, as established by its founder, to depend upon the decision of the Order and its heads for the time being. The upholders of strict discipline then laboured for their cause, raised Giacomo of Fiore to the dignity of prophet, and wrote in his name new prophecies of ruin to come. This movement passed with some into fanaticism, and pro duced among many within the Church direct antagonism to the Papacy as it then was.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of English Literature The Beginnings of English Literature. The Difficulties attend ing them. The Advisability of taking Chaucer as our Starting Point. The Necessity of Knowing the Outlines of Earlier Days before even Chaucer is attempted. English literature may be said to begin with some fragments of poetry that date back as far as the fourth century; and, for the ten centuries following, our literature is extremely difficult to understand, because it is written either in Anglo Saxon, or else in one of the dialects of Middle English. It took a thousand years for English literature to develop properly; and we do not come across any author who can be easily mastered until we arrive at the middle of the fourteenth century. Then we find Geoffrey Chaucer one of the greatest of our poets, who died in the year 1400. We cannot, however, properly appreciate even his work unless we know something of the condition of English between the fourth and the fourteenth centuries; and this knowledge we must try to obtain by learning a little about the principal things that happened to the language before Chaucer's time.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of English Literature, Vol. 3: From the Fourteenth Century to the Death of Surrey It has been found more convenient to issue the translation of the two Parts as Volume II. And Volume III. Dr. Brandl tells us that up to the end of Chapter IV. Of Book VI. He found all practically ready for the press, the pages numbered and evidently finally revised by the author. The remainder of the ms, although carefully arranged, was unpaged, yet with out gaps, beyond two blank leaves which Dr. Brandl has filled in to the best of his ability (this passage occurs in our volume on p. 21 I, 1. II, to the end of the chapter). Of the Appendix, which had been referred to by the author as far back as 1889, only a few pages were to be found, and although some of the promised notes are wanting, we have others which had not been looked for. This is a further proof of the method Ten Brink is said to have adopted in work, viz. Of taking up his subjects as the spirit moved him, and this may possibly also account for the omission in this volume of some writers whom Ten Brink may have intended to deal with in their turn before finally arranging his material for publication. His History remains unfinished, in any case, and this is the more to be regretted as the next volume would have presented the more serious discussion of the Elizabethan era, a subject which he had already made a part of his University lectures, and by which he had attracted students from all parts of the world. Ten Brink's last words in this volume, on the untimely death of the Earl of Surrey, Dr. Brandl very appropriately quotes in connection with Ten Brink's own sad fate: Great things he might still have accomplished, but what he did accomplish has not been lost to posterity.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Boke of Curtasye: An English Poem of the Fourteenth Century The following poem, which is now for the first time printed, from ms. Sloane 1986 (a small manuscript on vellum, of the fourteenth century), is perhaps one of the most singular relics of the kind that could have been placed before the notice of the antiquarian reader. In style of com position it is very similar to the curious poem Which I printed some time since in my Early History of Freemasonry in England, - in fact, so much so, that I am almost inclined to think, on comparing the two together, that they may possibly be the work of one writ-er. The same language, and in some instances the same phrases, may be distinctly traced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The essays collected here present the fruits of the most recent research on aspects of the history, politics and culture of England during the long' fourteenth century - roughly speaking from the reign of Edward I to the reign of Henry V. Based on a range of primary sources, they are both original and challenging in their conclusions. Several of the articles touch in one way or another upon the subject of warfare, but the approaches which they adopt are significantly different, ranging from an analysis of the medieval theory of self-defence to an investigation of the relative utility of narrative and documentary sources for a specific campaign. Literary texts such as Barbour's Bruce are also discussed, and a re-evaluation of one particular set of records indicates that, in this case at least, the impact of the Black Death of 1348-9 may have been even more devastating than is usually thought. Chris Given-Wilson is Professor of Late Mediaeval History at the University of St Andrews. Contributors: Susan Foran, Penny Lawne, Paula Arthur, Graham E. St John, Diana Tyson, David Green, Jessica Lutkin, Rory Cox, Adrian R. Bell

Book Description
Excerpt from Mediaeval England: English Feudal Society From the Norman Conquest to the Middle of the Fourteenth Century It is no primitive or low civilisation that we have to describe in the England of 1066 - 1350 it differs from ours more in kind than in degree. In its own kind we cannot deny its majesty, for, though we may not always realise it, it still has dominion over us. Further, it is to be remembered that the English Middle Ages are in their main character one with the continental Middle Ages in certain aspects only have they a character peculiarly their own. In this volume the evidence must be strictly confined to England; but to those who read the mediaaval evidences it needs not to be said that much which is true of our country at that time is true also of others. Insularity was not in the Middle Ages a pre dominant English character. Our original oneness with the continent and the lines of our later diver gence become most perceptible to us when we travel in Europe, for it is upon the continent that we most often come across some of the outward signs of mediaeval life.
