Thomas
Hoccleve was
a scribe in royal service from ca. 1386 to 1426, as well as a
'Chaucerian'
poet who has attracted much interest, especially for his
autobiographical
poems. This facsimile reproduces three manuscripts containing all of
his
known poetry except his Regement of Princes (of which no
autograph
copy survives). It provides a rare opportunity to see how a medieval
English
poet presented his own work in copies which he made himself,
meticulously
spelled and metred. Although these manuscripts have attracted much
scholarly
attention, only a few pages have previously been reproduced in
published
studies. The introduction includes the first full description of the
contents
and structure of the three volumes, with discussions of the author's
handwriting,
use of abbreviations, and punctuations based on advances in
palaeographical
study and historical knowledge of Hoccleve's context.
