A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

He was born, as he himself tells us, at Lidgate ;and this fact appears to have escaped the notice of modem writers. It does not appear that any memorial of him is in our Record Offices.! We are even uncertain of the time of his death; but it is very improbable that he survived as long as the year 1482, although most writers place the date of his death in that year.J In the first place, he wrote a poem addressed to A bbat Curteys, In myn oold dayes; and this abbat died in 1446, which shows that he must have attained an advanced age then. A gain, he was a friend of Chaucer s, who died in 1400, and says that he composed one poem under his immediate directions. It is no proof of his surviving to the accession of Edward, because a stanza on that sovereign is foimd in the poefs brief chronicle of the kings, in MS. Harl. 2251; for it is well known that such additions were often made by the tran I was bom in Lydegate. MS. Harl. 2251, fol. 283. tMS. Birch, 4246, fol. 60. XR itsons Bibliographica Poetica, p. 89. MS. Harl. 2255, fol. 43.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
