The purpose of this book is twofold: to recall the romance of Amadis de Gaule from its literary limbo and to examine the influence of the French version on Elizabethan literature. The author provides the furst full-length study to treat either the whole of Amadis de Gaule or its literary impact in Elizabethan England. he devotes a generous portion of the book to the literary qualities, motifs, and sources of the romance, for althought this extraordinary text forms a natural bridge between late medieval and early Renaissance literary traditions, little scholarly attention has given to its signficance in literary history. Mr. O'Connor makes an important and original contribution not only to comparative Renaissance studies but also to our understanding of one of the significant works of the early Renaissance - a work that went through many editions but that was read so avidly over such a long period of time that very few libraries in the world possess a complete set of the books of Amadis in any language.

Price clipped to D/J. In the evolution of Nonformority in English Protestantism during the reign of Elizabeth I, one of thre fiercest attacks on the episcopal establishment was conducted by prebyterian-Puritans who associated themselved in the clandestine writing, printing, and distribution of a series of pamphlets which appeared under the name Martin Marprelate, or mar-bishop. By coincidence the mysterious literary genius who composed this seres was at work on his first tract at a moment when the English Throne and Church were also threatened by the invasion of Spanish Catholic forces from the Continent, Philip II's Armada. od the two, the clandestine Puritan activities were to prove far more menacing to Elizabeth and her successors. In this book the author reappraises the Marprelate Controversy and Penry's relationship to it in the light not only of the depositions made by persons suspected of complicity in the Martinist conspiracy but also of the relevant pamphlets written by nonconformists and the defenders of the Establishment during the last years of the sixteenth century. 274 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
