The history of the Sherwood Forest area of Detroit is in small part the story of a community of architecturally significant houses, and in large part the story of the tenacity of a city neighborhood that successfully has met significant challenges in the course of its 100 years. 
The development of the Sherwood Forest community in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, mirrored the development of the auto industry in Detroit. Auto executives bought lots and had fine homes built for their families in what came to be called "the Grosse Pointe of North Woodward." But the community was quickly and repeatedly tested by a series of challenges not unlike the challenges that have tested the great city of which it is a part. How it chose to meet those challenges goes a long way in explaining Detroit's revitalization today and, more fundamentally, in explaining what it means to be a Detroiter. 
 Sherwood Forest is a neighborhood that works, and the "how" and the "why" of that makes for an inspiring and instructive story for anyone interested in the concept of community and how it was achieved in one of the most fascinating places in urban America.

This volume attempts to represent European theories of poetry from Plato's time to the year 1700. Editor Allan H. Gilbert has selected writers who in their own day spoke for the future rather than the past, and those whose conceptions are of value at present, either in developing our own critical thought or in interpreting the most important literature of their own ages.

History & Criticism

Of the many literary forms of medieval times, few are more likely to appeal to the modern reader than the so-called Breton lay. Popular tales designed to appeal to an audience less than learned, they strove for many of the same effects as the modern short story - brevity, drama, and quick movement from one climactic scene to another, allowing the teller to catch and hold his audience.
There are in Middle English eight tales that purport to be, or to be based upon, Breton lays. Though all have been previously edited, they have never been brought together in to a single volume until now. In the belief that a wide audience will find them appealing, Professor Thomas Rumble carefully edited and introduced the eight Middle English Breton lays. They represent not only a remarkably wide range of the subjects and themes of medieval popular literature, but in a way the very wellsprings of English fiction.
