Description
Excerpt from English Historical Literature in the Fifteenth Century: With an Appendix of Chronicles and Historical Pieces Hitherto for the Most Part Unprinted
The purpose and scope of this volume (which is founded on a course of lectures delivered at Oxford in 1910) are explained sufficiently in the introductory chapter. I have added an appendix of short chronicles and historical pieces, which, with some partial exceptions, have not hitherto been printed. Their primary object is to illustrate the text; thus the interest of some of them is mainly textual or literary; but others, as notably the Northern Chronicle and the Sherborne Annals, have an intrinsic value of their own. They are all too short to have obtained independent publication their usefulness will, I hope, be increased by their collection in the same place.
