._ for the Percy Soc. (1849). With Edward III. such literature becomes copious. Of special importance are T. Wright's _Political POEMS and SONGS FROM the accession of Edward III._, vol. i. (Rolls Series, 1859), J. Hall's _Poems of_ LAURENCE MINOT, Skeat's editions of CHAUCER and LANGLAND, and G.C. Macaulay's edition of GOWER. The Latin works of Wycliffe, published by the Wycliffe Society, mainly belong to the succeeding period, but _De Dominio Divino_ and _De Civili Dominio_, as well as some tracts printed in the appendix to LEWIS'S _Life of Wiclif_ and in Shirley's edition of _Fasciculi Zizanioram_ (Rolls Series), were written before 1377. Of modern works treating of this period, many monographs, dealing with particular points, have been mentioned in notes in the course of the narrative. Of general guides to the period the best by far are Stubbs and Pauli. STUBBS'S _Constitutional History_ (vol. ii.) is as valuable for the chapters summarising the political history as for the more strictly constitutional matter. R. PAULI'S _Geschichte von England_, iii., 489-896, and iv., 1-505, 716-741, remains, after half a century, the fullest and most satisfactory working up in detail of these reigns, though the great additions to our material make parts of it a somewhat unsafe guide. It can be supplemented for particular aspects of history by the following: For legal history, POLLOCK and MAITLAND'S _History of English Law before the time of Edward I._, especially vol. i., book i. (chapters iv.-vi.), and book ii.; and most of vol. ii.; to which should be added the prefaces by Prof. Maitland and others to the volumes of the Selden Society. MAITLAND'S _Roman Canon Law in the Church of England_ (1898) is also of great importance. For economic history, W.J. ASHLEY'S _Economic History_, parts i. and ii.; W. CUNNINGHAM's _Growth of English Industry and Commerce, Early and Middle Ages_; VINOGRADOFF'S _Villainage in England_, S. DOWELL'S _History of Taxation_ (2nd edition), H. HALL'S _Customs Revenue of England_, and, as a collection of materials, J.E. THOROLD ROGERS' _History of Agriculture and Prices_, vols. i. and ii. For ecclesiastical history, W.R.W. STEPHENS'S _History of the English Church, 1066-1272_; W.W. CAPES'S _History of the English Church in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries_, and F. MAKOWER'S _The Constitutional History and Constitution of the Church of England_ (translated from the German). For academic history, DENIFL
