... to deal with the knight in the context of his fourteenth-century knighthood. The clause of General Prologue devoted to characterization begins deliberately, indeed somewhat sententiously, with the knight: And at a knyght than wol I first bigynne (I, 42).

... the name of Thomas Walleys, all of them have a prologue which, in spite of some variation, states the same principles. From the very outset, prologues seek to justify the exegetical program that directs the undertaking. Since these liminary pronouncements bespeak a certain conception of commentary...

... on the subject, except that they are warmly debated.) In Skeat s big edition of the Canterbury Tales, there are sixteen Tales, and twenty-four Prologues, Epilogues, and Links in the heroic couplet a total of 13,680 fines.

... the Zwischenreden with a verbal prologue—a spoken overture to the musical overture—that sets the stage for the opening symphony in much the same way the overture sets the stage for Goethe’s play.

... and stimu­ lated them; its aesthetics were founded rather on admiration and horror than on pity and fear. Trissino s tragedy begins with a prologue, where Sofonisba ex­ plains her misfortunes to Erminia, her confidante. Erminia s char­ acter is very vague, like that of most neoclassical confidantes except...

The first deals with the mediatory function of Milton s genii; the second with the growth and character of the poet-speaker in the prologues to PL I, III, VII, and IX, which, together, Sundell considers an independent...

.... In the Prologue, Mr. Mercier proposes to present a rather personal view . . . though not a wildly idiosyncratic one (p. viii) of a man thirteen years his senior with whom he shares no special intimacy but rather the famil­ iarity of similar backgrounds (Irish Protestant) and educations (Portora Royal School...

... the problem Faust a single step closer to a solution. On the contrary, like the so-called Urfaust, this first part is really the tragedy of Gretchen, the girl who kills her child, Faust s child, in desperation.

And so...

... narrative that followed Cowley and his friends on their ideological odyssey from bohemianism to Marxism. Cowley himself is largely responsible for our current neglect of the first edition.

Apart from that, his powerful mind might well have been frittered away on the inconsequential: a guinea here and ten guineas there for prefaces, proposals, prologues, reviews, sermons, un­ attached trivia, with the great works of criticism, morality, and biography...
