Thomas Hoccleve (d.1426) served four kings as a clerk of the Privy Seal. His poetry, partly written under Chaucer's influence, includes the Regiment of Princes on the nature of kingship and some delightful occasional pieces. This documentary life is based on several years' study and offers a fresh interpretation of the poet; few Middle English writers can be so fully understood in the context within which they worked. This study includes new material and an up-to-date bibliography of manuscripts and printed material. John Burrow is Winterstoke Professor of English at Bristol University.

Authors Of The Middle Ages - 4 Thomas Hoccleve: English Writers of the Late Middle Ages
A remarkable book. I've read many of Hearn's writings and each one is a delight. This is no exception. If you want an extremely rare insight into Japanese culture around 1890, this book is I think the best I have read of his or of any others, including Marie Stopes - A Journal from Japan. After a number of visits myself to many places in northern, central and southern Japan, Hearn's observations still largely remain true. His observation of I think 5 policemen for 36,000 people of the Oki District (in 1891) and they only kept an eye on health regulations etc! Virtually no crime at all. I remember walking near Takamatsu in the western suburbs of Tokyo in 2004 and regularly seeing children aged less than 5, walking unacompanied and hand in hand to school in the mornings. Delightful. May it remain so.
