'Whereas in Tyrwhitt's Rowley [published the previous year] the pseudo-medieval texts were printed as 'literary curiosities' of dubious authenticity and devoid of a clearly defined authorial head, in Miscellanies the acknowledged works were presented as the sincere expressions of the proud genius forced to dabble in all manner of modern literary forms' (Cook, p. 70).
