SELECTION FROM THE GENERAL CATALOGUE

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_
