Excerpt from A Commentary of the Services and Charges of William Lord Grey of Wilton, K. G. By His Son Arthur Lord Grey of Wilton, K. G: With a Memoir of the Author, and Illustrative Documents The manuscript, now for the first time printed entire, was accidentally discovered in a box of old deeds and papers, at Oulton Park, Cheshire, in the autumn of 1844. It is headed, " A Comentarie of ye servycies & Chargies yt my L. my father was employed in whyllst hee lyved, fr Lav. Hollyngshead" It is written on coarse paper, in a careless, irregular hand; and, from the numerous erasures and corrections, has the appearance of a rough draft rather than of a finished composition. The words in the title, printed in italics, have been inserted in a smaller character, and paler ink. This manuscript gives an account of the military achievements of William lord Grey of Wilton, K. G., who was a distinguished leader in the reigns of Henry the Eighth, Edward the Sixth, and Mary; the larger portion of the narrative being devoted to the details of the siege of Guisnes, in 1558, of which place lord Grey was at that time the governor. The author of the manuscript was Arthur, lord Grey's eldest son. Although there is no signature to the document, this fact is placed beyond a doubt by comparing the names of the hostages delivered to the French, during the truce, at the siege of Guisnes, as given by Holinshed, with the parallel passage in the manuscript: the former says, "Maister Arthure Gray, my lordes sonne, and maister Lewes Dive, were put out;" the latter, "My coozyn Dyve and myself were put owte."

This is a collection of wide-ranging papers on Edmund Spenser, including criticism on the Shepheardes Calender, Spenser's rhymes, his impact on Louis MacNeice, the medieval organizations of the Faerie Queene, on the Mutabilite Cantos, Temperance in Book II, and Friendship in Book IV, Written by younger as well as by well-established scholars, the contributors move quietly away from theoretically dominated criticism, and emphasize the importance of historical criticism, both breaking new ground and recuperating neglected insights and approaches. The introduction describes and defends the current trend towards a renewed historical criticism in Spenser criticism. The papers contribute to our knowledge of Spenser's life as well as to our understanding of his poetry. J. B. Lethbridge lectures at the English seminar at Tubingen University.
