The Childe of Bristow, a Poem by John Lydgate

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 February 2010

Extract

This interesting little legend, preserved in a volume in the Harleian Collection of MSS. in the British Museum, calendared as “Poems by Chaucer, Dan Lydgate, and others,” can hardly be said to have escaped the notice of our antiquaries, since Ritson, in his Bibliographia Poetica, p. 71, mentions it, and gives its authorship to Lydgate.
