Mediæval Life and Literature

title page

Studies in Mediæval Life and Literature, by Edward Tompkins McLaughlin. New York, London, G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1894.

188 p. 20 cm.

McLaughlin, Edward T. (Edward Tompkins), 1860-1893.

Six essays on Mediæval poetry, including the story of Abelard and Heloise, “An Old German Gallant,” (Ulrich von Liechtenstein) and “Childhood in Mediæval Literature.”

There are a few paragraphs in Latin, French and Olde Englishe (but no ſ, þ, or ð), and quite a few poetical translations.

It’s quite readable, and was last reprinted in about 1972. This copy, however, is original.

I haven’t been able to find anything online about McLaughlin, other than he was a member of the Skull and Bones Club (at Yale, I presume). The introduction has some details of his life though, so when I get some text I’ll post it here.
