Product Information

Excerpt from Specimens of Lyric Poetry, Composed in England in the Reign of Edward the First The manuscript from which the following pieces are edited (Ms. Harl. No. 2253), is well kwn to the amateurs of early English poetry. Its date is fixed by the hand-writing and by the contents to the beginning of the reign of Edward II. It contains political songs relating to different events in the reigns of Henry III and Edward I. The two latest are those on the Traillebastons (A.D. 1305) and the death of Edward I (A.D. 1307). It is probable that the manuscript was written in, or very soon after, the latter year. Several of the political songs in this manuscript belong, as I have just stated, to the reign of Henry III: it is impossible to fix any exact date from internal evidence to the following miscellaneous lyric pieces, but it is most probable that they were all of them current during the reign of Edward I, and had been collected by the writer of the manuscript. It is fortunate that we have means of ascertaining with tolerable accuracy the place, as well as the date, at which this manuscript was written.
