Frederick John Snell: 2 books

The most brilliant period of the Middle Ages, the age of Chaucer was a time of social and political advances, noble daring, as well as independence and freedom. This engrossing volume examines the literature of the era as well as studies Geoffrey Chaucer and his works—creating an evocative portrait of a notable epoch in the history of English literature.

The period of time between Chaucer and Spenser is the subject of this 1905 survey of English and Scottish literature. It provides a clean, concise account of Chaucer and his disciples, Occleve and Lydgate, the golden age of Scottish poetry, the Spenserian vanguard, poets of the English Renaissance, and the ballads and songs of the era.
