So the next step is to start writing the dissertation. I have a two step plan:
- Pull close reading passages from primary documents and analyze them
- Go back and add scholarship based on these readings
Since my argument is that the devil of these texts as the folkloric devil I am focusing on popular texts only (vernacular), texts that would have been known to the "folk".
Middle English:
- Genesis B
- William of Malmesbury Chronicle of Kings (I have the J.A Giles translation, but need the original)
- [Thomas Aquinas]
- Legenda Aurea/The Golden Legend need Caxton's version
- Piers Plowman B Text, Harrowing of Hell
- Shewings of Julian Norwich
- The Castle of Perseverance
- Parliament of Fiends
- The Book of Margery Kempe
- Prose Merlin
- York Corpus Christi
- Sir Gowther
- Discoverie of Witchcraft
- English Faust Book
- Doctor Faustus
- Edward II
- The Honourable History of Friar Bacon
- Demonologie
- The Merry Devil of Edmonton
- The Death of Merlin
- The Devil is an Ass
- The Devil's Charter
- The Late Lancashire Witches
- The Goblins
- Paradise Lost
A search of the library (even for ILL) has not turned up anything.
So, can anyone point me in the direction of originals for the Middle English texts I need?
Thanks in advance.
