Chaucer to Spenser by Derek Pearsall
In this key anthology Derek Pearsall offers a radically new approach to those teaching and studying English writing from Geoffrey Chaucer to the early work of Edmund Spenser.
"The true proof of an anthology is its classroom performance. .Pearsall's smorgasbord of short extracts, dressed with first-rate contextualizing commentary and references to just the right secondary literature, inspire much independent investigation and a joyous crop of non- repetitive termpapers." "Above all, it is a pleasure to work with a volume annotated from a lifetimes's learning and leavened by rare, companionable humour. Many moments linger." Medium Aevum
