(1825-1910). The English literary scholar F.J. Furnivall was instrumental in initiating a major revival in the study of medieval English literature, partly by his own efforts in textual criticism and partly by founding learned societies. Among the many early English works he edited were editions of Geoffrey Chaucer and more than 40 reproductions of quartos of William Shakespeare’s plays.
