still closer imitation.
The tremendous influence of 'Don Quixote' upon English

Elizabethans, e.g. Middleton's 'Spanish Gipsy' and Fletcher's
'Fair Maid of the Inn' are both taken from his 'Novellas
Exemplares'.

Froissart's 'Chronicles' deals with the period between
1326-1400. It is mainly occupied with the affairs of France,
England, Scotland and Flanders, and he also supplies much
information in regard to Germany, Italy and Spain. The work has
greatly influenced our literature.

=GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH.= _b._ 1100, _d._ 1154. =British historian.=
THE BRITISH HISTORY. _Tr._ With a large commentary by Aaron Thomson, 1718.
Historia Regum Brittaniæ, or Historia Britonum, based, as
Geoffrey tells us, upon a very old book lent him by Archdeacon
Walter (Galenius) of Oxford, probably a volume of Breton
Legends. Geoffrey also drew from the older history of Nennius,
but there still remains a large portion of his work which has
not been traced beyond his own pen.
The 'Historia' is looked upon as an epoch-making book, owing
to the impulse it gave to the literature of Romance. Legends
afloat among the natives of Wales and Bretagne were now given
a literary garb which rendered them sufficiently attractive
to awaken the interest of the world in general, and the
imagination of the mediæval poet was aroused by the chivalric
glamour which the historian threw over his descriptions of
Arthur's Court. It was a main source, but not the exclusive
one of Arthurian legend, for independent of the fact that many
characteristic features of the latter are not mentioned by him,
there is evidence of Welsh fables being extant in the 12th
century, which supplied material for later romances apart from
Geoffrey's history.
This work is the fountain-head of medieval romance, the
principal source of the legends of Merlin and Arthur, which
were amplified by the romancers by material from Celtic
tradition. Geoffrey's work is the basis of Wace's 'Roman de
Brut' and of Layamon's 'Brut'.

These stories enjoyed a wide vogue in France and England,
and formed matter for the exploitation of every class of
our Elizabethan dramatists or writers of fiction. They have
a particular interest to students of English literature as
having furnished, whether directly or indirectly, the plots
of 'Measure for Measure', and 'Othello'. That of the latter
is said to have reached Shakespeare through the French
translation, while that of the former is probably to be traced
to Wheatstone's 'Promos and Cassandra' (1578), an adaptation
of Cinthio's story, and to his 'Heptameron' (1582), which
contains a direct English translation. To Giraldi must be also
attributed Beaumont and Fletcher's 'Custom of the Country'.

'The influence of Goethe is not calculable. The effect of
his Faust begins most clearly in Byron's "Manfred"'. He has
influenced English ballad and lyrical poetry, as is seen in
Scott and Coleridge.
'The influence of such a man must be vast. Byron and Shelley
owned it and showed it. Carlyle, as stern a critic as ever
played the pedagogue, is unmixed in his admiration for the man
Goethe, who is to him divine. In his own country his "Werther",
despite its frequent morbidness and its longueurs, determined
the feeling of every sentimentalist. Outside that country his
"Wilhelm Meister" has become almost a textbook in æsthetic
philosophy'.
