of a medieval author with all the information needed for further
research. The series is divided into two sub-series. The first,

Middle Ages and the second, edited by Patrick Geary, deals with
Historical and Religious Writers of the Latin West. William Caxton

translated many books into English and by the prologues and
epilogues added to many of his printed works he helped to establish
literary tastes and fashions at the end of the medieval period. The
life of Reginald Peacock, bishop, heretic and author, reflects the
many controversies of 15th-century England. Drawing on many
contemporary sources and based on fresh research. Wendy Scase
offers a new interpretation of an enigmatic writer. Douglas Gray
traces the lives of the two poets Robert Henryson and William
Dunbar. Among the several distinguished poets of late-medieval
Scotland. Henryson stands out for his humanity, learned wit and
imaginitive power; while Dunbar was one of the most spectacular,
flamboyant and versatile Scottish poets of the Middle Ages. This
study gives an account of the little that is known of their lives
and extensively details both their works and later scholarship.
