Book Description
Excerpt from Early Tudor Poetry, 1485-1547 If we start de novo, then, there are three factors which combine to condition a writer's work: the literary past as known to him, the present state of thought in his particular world, and his own personality. These are the three unknown factors in the equation. He is conditioned by the past, because we inherit both our lan guage and our forms of expression. Surely it is the use only of the language that is personal; few men have invented even a single word, and the expression to choose your words means merely to select from your pitiqy small proportion of the three hundred thousand words in the New English Dictionary the best words at your command. The choice of what language shall be your mother tongue is as far from your power as is the selection of your grandparents. But on the other hand, just as you are you and not the incarnation of any grandparent, the fact that your speech is inherited does not prevent you from expressing your own personality in your use of it. Quite the contrary in fact, since in your conversation you give your past, your educa tion, your home surroundings and your character, and in thus expressing your own individuality, you yet necessarily speak the language of your epoch. The English of today is not the English of Shakespeare, of Dryden, of Addison, of Wordsworth, or of Tennyson; nor is it the English to be used in the year 2000. The change in language is slow, but certain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This volume presents annotated texts of two poems that have not appeared in a previous critical edition.
