Originally published in 1907, this book contains the text of Edmund
Spenser's philosophical 'Fowre Hymnes'. Winstanley's introduction
and notes detail the heavy influence of Platonic philosophy on
Spenser's writings, particularly the role and function of the
various kinds of love. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in Spenser's works and in Elizabethan poetry.
Originally published in 1915 as part of the Pitt Press Series, and
reprinted many times thereafter, this book contains the text of the
first book of Spenser's Faerie Queene. Winstanley prefaces the text
with an introduction on the medieval, classical and renaissance
sources for the poem, as well as the book's historical allegory.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in this
important English poem.
First published in 1914, this volume contains the complete text of
The Nonne Prestes Tale. The Ellesmere manuscript is used as the
main source, though elements of the Harleian version are also
present. Consummately edited by Lilian Winstanley (1876-1960), the
text also contains generous explanatory notes, a glossary of terms,
together with a lengthy introduction which provides contextual
information on the tale and a chronological overview of Chaucer's
life. This book will remain of value to anyone with an interest in
The Canterbury Tales or the history of Chaucerian criticism.
This volume was edited by Lilian Winstanley and originally
published in 1922. It presents the full texts of 'The Prioress's
Tale' and 'The Tale of Sir Thopas', accompanied by thorough,
comprehensive notes. Winstanley further enhances the reading
experience through extensive introductory chapters, focusing on
Chaucer's life and the historical, social and literary contexts of
his writing. She addresses common themes within The Canterbury
Tales as well as providing a useful guide to pronunciation, grammar
and metre within Chaucer. Furthermore, this book contains sound
critical readings of both texts, discussing the historical
relevance and religious connotations of 'The Prioress's Tale', and
the form, satire and intertextuality of 'The Tale of Sir Thopas'.
These tales, of a child martyr and a child knight respectively,
will be enjoyed not simply because of their literary merit, but
through the pains of the editor to produce a text that is both
informative and accessible.
First published in 1921, this volume constitutes an attempt to view
Hamlet in the light of contemporary history, pointing out possible
links between the action of the play and the surrounding context of
its creation. Given the lack of biographical material on
Shakespeare and the consequent mystery surrounding his intentions,
attention is focused on the relationship between the play and its
potential audience. Through this approach an unusual thesis is
developed, one in which the play is seen as casting a positive
light on the Essex conspiracy and the future succession of James I.
This is a fascinating and controversial study that will be of value
to anyone with an interest in Shakespeare, Elizabethan and Jacobean
history, or literary criticism.
