And A Ballad Or Two By Chaucer, And Other Short Pieces.

Robert Copland is (fl. 1505-1546) had a long career as a poet,
translator, and printer, and his achievements were substantial. As
a printer, he worked for and with Wynkyn de Worde, and his editions
look back to the work of Caxton, de Worde's master, and forward,
through the work of his successor William Copland, to the
Elizabethan period. As a translator, he worked at a time when
foreign languages were becoming increasingly necessary to the
average Englishman. John Berdan calls Copland one of the main
channels of French influence in England during this period. This
book makes available the lively poetry of a pre-Renaissance world.
In includes lyl of Braintfords Testament, a bequest of farts poem
indebted to Chaucer's Summoner's Tale; The Seuen Sorowes That Women
Haue When Theyr Husbandes Be Deade, in which conventional
misogynist satire moves into psychological complexity; and
Copland's most important work, The Hye Way to the Spyttell Hous, an
account of vagabond life outside the law in which thieves' cant
first sees print. All Copland's work displays a singularly personal
quality: as H.R. Plomer says, 'The voice of Robert Copland imparts
life to the faint outline that we have of him.' Additional
information is contained in the biographical material and notes and
glossary. This is a valuable contribution to social history and
will be of special interest to those concerned with the early
history of English printing.
