SELECTION FROM THE GENERAL CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PUBLISHED BY THE CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS

THE CAMBRIDGE ANTHOLOGIES

Life in Shakespeare’s England. A Book of Elizabethan Prose compiled by J. Dover Wilson, M.A. Crown 8vo. With 7 Plates. 3s 6d net.

“Mr Wilson’s selection is that of a scholar; admirably selected and wonderfully representative of the rich material drawn upon.... You come not upon passages that have become worn by familiarity.” —The Westminster Gazette

“As a picture of social England in the sixteenth century the volume is well worth study. We have read it through and can vouch that there is not a dull page.“—The Journal of Education

“Each extract describes some facet in the various life of England at the time. We see the country life, with its labour, sports, festivals, and superstitions; the educated life of schools, universities, and travel; the life of London, and its disorders, temptations, plagues, and fashions; the life of books and theatres; the life at court and at home; the life of rogues, vagabonds, and seamen.”—The Nation

An Anthology of the Poetry of the Age of Shakespeare. Chosen and Arranged by W. T. Young, M.A., Lecturer in English Language and Literature at the University of London, Goldsmiths’ College. Crown 8vo. 2s 6d net.

“In this attractive volume the thought, temper, manners, and activities of the period of Shakespeare are exemplified in selections from contemporary poetry; and no better guide can be desired on this journey than Mr W. T. Young.”—The Schoolmaster

“Probably no age lends itself so well to the art of the maker of anthologies as the Elizabethan.... Mr Young has made the most of his chances; he has given us besides beautiful bits from Spenser, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Raleigh, a host of lyrics from Tottel, from the lesser playwrights, and from writers so little known as Daniel and Warner. The result is a book that will be a treasure to every lover of English song. The method adopted is chronological, and the book is supplied with a good index and a sensible glossary.” —The Literary World

Music on the Shakespearian Stage. By G. H. Cowling. Crown 8vo. With Frontispiece and 10 Plates. 4s net.

Contents:—Introduction—Music in pre-Shakespearian Drama—An Elizabethan Stage and its Music—Musical Instruments and their Uses—Incidental Music—Musicians, Singers, and Songs—Elizabethan Music and its Share in the Drama—Some Literary Allusions to Music in Elizabethan Plays—Bibliography—Appendix—Index.

“This is an excellently clear and well-informed essay on the status and function of the theatre musicians in Elizabethan times. The author has compressed the fruits of scholarship and wide observation into commendably few pages, and at the same time has managed to construct an unquestionably interesting and informing narrative.”—The Musical Standard

“This ... record of how and when and why musical compositions were added to dramatic productions is worthy of a good place in Shakespeare Bibliography.”—The Daily Chronicle

Byways in British Archæology. By Walter Johnson, F.G.S., Author of “Folk-Memory,” etc. Demy 8vo. With 99 Illustrations, 10s 6d net.

“In these 500 pages Mr Johnson has brought together a series of essays on archæological subjects, each of which shows considerable reading and accurate research.... The amount of information compactly presented is remarkable, and it may fairly be said that every reasoning British archæologist ought to read these pages.... Throughout the volume is well illustrated.”—The Athenæum

National Life and Character in the Mirror of Early English Literature. By Edmund Dale, M.A., D.Lit. Royal 8vo. 8s net.

“Each period lives before us in the ‘mirror’ of its literature; the Englishman of every age speaks in his own voice; and the narrative, with its countless facts, quotations, descriptions, marches as agreeably as a tale.”—The Morning Post

“Dr Dale has achieved an attractive and distinguished bit of work; but lest praise so high should warn off the general reader, let it be added that it is far easier to read and much more interesting than many works of fiction.”—The Birmingham Post
