Présentation de l'éditeur
The Serpent of Division, the only well-authenticated prose work of John Lydgate, contains the most extensive treatment of Julius Caesar in the remains of Middle English literature. The diligence of the encyclopaedists, in gathering the material of Suetonius, Lucan, and the Commentaries, prevented the growth of a cyclical legend of any great importance about this representative of the Worthy Nine .L ocal legends in England were confined to the erection of ancient buildings, and to the invasion of the land. Thus the study of Lydgate ssources in my introduction, the larger part of which formed a portion of a doctors dissertation at Harvard University in 1907, is interesting, not so much in the revelation of ancient legend, as in showing how a mediaeval biographer, like one in our own days of scientific inquiry, went to all the accessible sources and put together what he believed to be the trustworthy account. I am greatly indebted to the late Lord Calthorpe, to the Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, the Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, and the authorities of the British Museum, the Bodleian, and Harvard University Libraries, for permission to use their manuscripts and prints of The Serpent. H. N. MacCRACKEN. New Haven, Dec. r, 1910.
