edition for the first time, are fully annotated and introducedfor use by students and researchers alike. In addition, the anthology includes supplementary materials that these writers would
have known intimately, such as the marriage ceremony from The Book of Common Prayer and the account of the Fall in both the Geneva and Authorized (King James) versions, as well as a selected
