Early Prose Romances is a collection of seven classic tales from medieval literature, edited and compiled by Henry Morley. The book includes the stories of Reynard The Fox, Friar Bacon, Robert The Devil, Guy Of Warwick, Virgilius, History Of Hamlet, and Friar Rush. Each story is a fascinating example of the early prose romance genre, which flourished during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Reynard The Fox is a satirical fable about a wily fox who outwits his animal rivals, while Friar Bacon tells the story of a brilliant scholar who creates a powerful magical Brazen Head. Robert The Devil is a dark tale of a knight who sells his soul to the devil, while Guy Of Warwick is a heroic saga of a valiant knight who battles monsters and dragons. Virgilius is a fantastical story about a magician who creates a mechanical flying horse, while History Of Hamlet is an early version of the famous Shakespearean tragedy. Finally, Friar Rush is a humorous tale of a mischievous friar who plays pranks on his fellow monks. Overall, Early Prose Romances is a fascinating and entertaining collection of classic tales that provide an insight into the literary traditions of the medieval and Renaissance periods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
