Excerpt from Royal Children of English History From Alfred the Great to Edward Seventh, Told for Boys and Girls The purpose of this book is to in the History of their Fatherland - Old England. It is the grandest History in the world. It is full of romance and adventure which never grow old. We have.selected for this volume the most interesting stories which center around the boys and girls who were born to high places. Their position in life was due to inheritance which they could not help, but the boys and girls of to-day do not owe their fortune to inheritance but to inheritance - and individual effort. Although it was thus with them, it will teach the lesson of contentment to those of us who are not born in royal purple, but who have greater opportunities than birth, to rise by our own struggles to places of eminence, and to earn, by living noble lives, the true purple, which is the symbol of royal worth. Every boy and girl may in this way become a royal child and have a career of usefulness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book provides a boldly original account of Middle English literature from the Norman Conquest to the beginning of the sixteenth century. It argues that these centuries are, in fundamental ways, the momentous period in our literary history, for they are the long moment in which the category of literature itself emerged as English writing began to insist, for the first time, that it floated free of any social reality or function. This book also charts the complex mechanisms by which English writing acquired this power in a series of linked close readings of both canonical and more obscure texts. It encloses those readings in five compelling accounts of much broader cultural areas, describing, in particular, the productive relationship of Middle English writing to medieval technology, insurgency, statecraft and cultural place, concluding with an in depth account of the particular arguments, emphases and techniques English writers used to claim a wholly new jurisdiction for their work. Both this history and its readings are everywhere informed by the most exciting developments in recent Middle English scholarship as well as literary and cultural theory. It serves as an introduction to all these areas as well as a contribution, in its own right, to each of them.
