ABSTRACT

Clarence Child (1864-1948) of the University of Pennsylvania published a number of editions and studies of Old English literature, and the syllabus of a course of six lectures on seventeenth-century works. Reviewing C.B.Furst’s A Group of Old Authors, he applauded Furst’s discretion in his treatment of Donne’s character (‘A Group of Old Authors’, Modern Language Notes, 15 (1900), 613).
