Publisher Synopsis
'These are handsome volumes to possess, and an indispensable addition to any library.' - Landeg White - Times Literary Supplement'...a valuable reprint of the original Reliques.' - Folk Music Journal'[This new edition] should restore Reliques to their rightful place in Romantic criticism after a long period in which the references to Percy have become somewhat formal and perfunctory.' - Landeg White - Times Literary Supplement'This reprint of Percy's Reliques, with Nick Groom's scholarly work - which extends to a valuable appendix to Volume 3 on the late changes Percy made in and after the first edition - will be an invaluable tool in considering the stages by which the medieval was incorporated into the structures of national culture and ideology.' - Stephen Knight - Cardiff University Read more...
