About this book
Edward Hutton's England of My Heart carries the subtitle Spring. The introduction calls England of my heart a great country of hill and valley, moorland and marsh, full of woodlands, meadows, and all manner of flowers. The introduction says that to the north the country is held by the waters of two rivers, Thames and Severn.
The introduction quotes Spenser with the line "Sweete Themmes runne softly till I end my song". The text says that for the portrait of Chaucer himself we must go to a lesser pen, to Greene, who describes him in his vision. A passage on Lewes says that the Abbot of Cluny refused to raise Lewes to the rank of an abbey, but granted the Prior the privilege of professing his monks in 1410. A line on Winchester asks whether anywhere a finer fourteenth century monument can be found than that of Bishop Wykeham.
