I am disappointed with Norman Davis choices which will effect my eventual review. I understand it applies modern spelling but it does not read like Middle English. I have another book of Tudor era letters (The Lisle Letters) and I see little difference in the use of language. I understand these were written 1450-1503 but I still think there ought to be more discernable examples of how people used English at the time.

first things first... the book is only 288 pages but I guess the editor's introduction and front matter adds about 32 pages to that number. So its only a brief sampling of the large collection of letters.
