The Situation of the Narrator in the Old English Wife's Lament
The Thematic Significance of the Flower Catalogue in Milton's Lycidas
It is now generally recognized that Lycidas was written not merely to memorialize death of Edward King, a young clergyman and fledgling poet who had been drowned at sea: it simultaneously manifests Milton's concern that death might also end his own life prematurely, whether by plague (which had taken its toll at Horton in 1637), by drowning (Milton was already looking forward to a tour of continental Europe), or by some other cause. Milton's doub…
The clandestine marriages of the Fair Maid of Kent
The obscure circumstances surrounding the marriages of Joan Plantagenet, the Fair Maid of Kent, are here clarified by reference to the pertinent original documents.

When Holland returned and claimed his wife, Salisbury refused to give her up and Holland was compelled to bide his ti…

A Faustsplitter from Rome
In the Annales ecclesiastici (Rome, 1646-77), a history of the church begun by Baronius and continued by Odorico Rinaldi, the entries for the year 1507 include a hitherto unnoticed reference to the activities of the German magician Faust – Georgius Sabellicus-Faust. Rinaldi describes Faust as a blasphemous impostor and as a forerunner of Luther. This reference, supported with quotations from the well-known denunciation of Sabellicus-Faust by Joha…

allegories,' he evidently had in mind that type of symbolistic narrative in which there is no pretense of realism at the surface level, the characters being created as personifications of abstract ideas and the story told merely for the sake of the non-literal level of meaning. Such, for example, is 'The Celestial Railroad,' with its obvious indebtedness to Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. Hawthorne was well aware that there is a more sophisticated k…
