NELSON'S MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE LIBRARY
General Editor:
Professor C. S. LEWIS'The first thing to strike one about these first two volumes of Nelson's new Medieval and Remis-essance Library under the general editorship of Professor C. S. Lewis, is their sleek and elegantformat . . . Each volume takes a fairly short text (up to 2,000 lines of verse or 40 pages of prose),providing it with an informative introduction, notes, bibliography and, where necessary, glossary.'
The Times Educational Supplement
Ancrene WisseParts Six and Seven 12s 6d
edited by GEOFFREY SHEPHERD 'A clear and concise outline of the work's intricate history, anda very useful introduction to the structure and meaning of the whole—considered, refreshingly, asa work of literary art rather than so much theological or linguistic raw material.'
The Times Educational Supplement
Squyer Meldrumby SIR DAVID LINDSAY 10s
edited by JAMES KINSLEY 'A sharp and entertaining picture of sixteenth-century Scotland in loveand war; and a welcome addition to the list of medieval reprints easily accessible to the generalreader.' The Times Educational Supplement
The Owl and The NightingaleEdited by E. G. STANLEY 15s
This addition to Nelson's Medieval and Renaissance Library provides an important new edition of ajustly famous poem, which reveals the variety of the medieval mind and mingling of serious ideasand imagination and wit.
The Parlement of FoulysEdited by D. S. BREWER 12s 6d
The Parlement of Foulys is a combination of various traditional themes (the dream, the beast fable,the debat); but all are given renewed freshness and interest by Chaucer's own inimitable touch inhandling serious themes with lightness and feeling.
Sir Launfalby THOMAS CHESTRE 12s 6d
edited by A. J. BLISS This is a 'tail-rhyme' version of a traditional fairy tale, less sophisticated andmore accessible to the modern reader than the parallel courtly romances.
