Chaucer to Spenser cover

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
