THOMAS , the name of an See also:English poet first mentioned in the See also:history of English literature by F. S. See also:Ellis in 1896, when, in editing the See also:text of The See also:Book of See also:Cupid, See also:God of Love, or The See also:Cuckoo and the See also:Nightingale, for the Kelmscott See also:Press, he stated that See also:Professor See also:Skeat had discovered that at the end of the best of the See also:MSS. the author was called Clanvowe. In 1897 this See also:information was confirmed and See also:expanded by Professor Skeat in the supplementary See also:volume of his See also:Clarendon Press See also:Chaucer (1894–1897). The beautiful See also:romance of The Cuckoo and the Nightingale was published by Thynne in 1532, and was attributed by him, and by successive editors down to the days of See also:- HENRY

Henry See also:Bradshaw, to Chaucer. It was due to this See also:error that for three centuries Chaucer was supposed to be identified with the See also:manor of See also:Wood-stock, and even painted, in fanciful pictures, as lying
"Under a See also:maple that is See also:fair and See also:green, Before the chamber-window of the See also:Queen At Wodestock, upon the See also:greene See also:lea."
But this queen could only be See also:Joan of See also:Navarre, who arrived in 1403, three years after Chaucer's See also:death, and it is to the See also:spring of that See also:year that Professor Skeat attributes the See also:composition of the poem. Sir Thomas Clanvowe was of a See also:Herefordshire See also:family, settled near Wigmore. He was a prominent figure in the courts of See also:Richard II. and Henry IV., and is said to have been a friend of See also:Prince See also:Hal. He was one of those who " had begun to mell of Lollardy, and drink the See also:gall of See also:heresy." He was one of the twenty-five knights who accompanied See also:John See also:Beaufort (son of John of Gaunt) to See also:Barbary in 1390.
The date of his See also:birth is unknown, and his name is last mentioned in 1404. The historic and See also:literary importance of The Cuckoo and the Nightingale is See also:great. It is the See also:work of a poet who had studied the See also:prosody of Chaucer with more intelligent care than either See also:Occleve or See also:Lydgate, and who therefore forms an important See also:link between the 14th and 15th centuries in English See also:poetry. Clanvowe writes with a surprising delicacy and sweetness, in a five-See also:line measure almost See also:peculiar to himself. Professor Skeat points out a unique characteristic of Clanvowe's versification, namely, the unprecedented freedom with which he employs the suffix of the final -e, and rather avoids than seeks elision. The Cuckoo and the Nightingale was,imitated by See also:Milton in his See also:sonnet to the Nightingale, and was rewritten in See also:modern English by See also:Wordsworth. It is a poem of so much individual beauty, that we must regret the apparent loss of everything else written by a poet of such unusual See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr.
