Excerpt from The Transition Period
I gratefully acknowledge the aid which I have received from friends in the reading of proofs, and I must specially thank the General Editor for his untiring heed to my importunities for advice, and for the use of sundry rare volumes from 'the secreit cornerie of his gazophile.' His friendly interest, which has far outreached even the most generous notions of editorial duty, has increased my regret at this inadequate requital.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the major European literatures of the 15th century, an epoch traditionally seen as a creative lull. The author presents a counter-argument, arguing that this period was one of transition when the ideals of the medieval world were reshaped to the fashions of modern art. It explores the complex changes underway in this Great Valley and the evolution of certain motifs that would go on to define Renaissance literature. Through analysis of form, subject matter, influence, and comparative bearings, the author traces the gradual shift from medieval traditions of storytelling into the modern literary approach. This book will appeal to general readers interested in European literature and the evolution of artistic movements, as well as students of literature, medieval and Renaissance history, and comparative cultural studies.
