Excerpt from The Chaucer Story Book T has been somewhat the fashion of late to declare I that the difficulty of reading Chaucer has been greatly overestimated. Probably it has - for some peo ple. Chaucer, compared with Beowulf, for instance, is play. For one who knows a little French, a little Ger man, and a little Latin, who has a shadowy recollection of Grimm's Law, a good memory for obsolete and half obsolete expressions, and a natural talent for discovering the gist of a word, no matter how it is spelled, it is a simple matter to read Chaucer. Doubtless, it would be better if every one would read everything in the exact form which it took in its author's mind, the Canterbury Tales included; but, though most people claim to be able to appreciate humor, pathos, charac ter-drawing, mischievous satire, and love of nature, and though all these qualifies are found' abundantly in the poetry of Chaucer, never met man.

Excerpt from The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer Our refusal to reduce the spelling of the manuscripts to a dead level of philological correctness - were this attainable - has compelled us to use an unobtrusive dot to indicate when the letter e is to be fully sounded. This is the less to be regretted as Chaucer's usage in this respect is not quite so rigidly uniform as it is sometimes represented, and few readers will be inclined to grumble at this help which we have endeavoured to offer as modestly as possible.

Excerpt from Selections From Chaucer In preparing this volume the editor has endeavored to reduce to a minimum the apparatus necessary to accompany the reading of selections from Chaucer. The introduction is by no means so long as it might have been made; the notes are not so complete as would be expected if the book were to be used by specialists in Middle English. The editor suggests that the first three sections of the introduction be read, rapidly at the very outset; after some' sequamtadobfl has fbeen gained with the text, these sections may be read again more carefully. The sections pn.' Prg nunciation, on Inflection, and on Versification should of course be mastered early; the best my. Seems to be to require them to be studied in connection with very short passages from the text, so that each principle may be immediately applied. Since the vocabulary of the Prologue is distinctly difficult some teachers may prefer to begin the reading with the comparatively easy Nun's Priest's Tale. In this way the language Will seem less remote from the language of Shakspere, and atten tion may be centered upon the difficulties of pronunci ation and metre.

Excerpt from In the Days of Chaucer Most prosy way and have no gifts as story-tellers; but Chaucer was so much a man of his time, knew so many kinds Of people, was so much alive to everything that went on about him, had such a fund of humor, and was so full Of gayety, that it is impossible to think Of him as other than a delightful companion, to spend the day with whom one would have walked a long way.

Excerpt from The Student's Chaucer: Being a Complete Edition of His Works John Chaucer, the poet's father, was in attendance on Edward III. In 1338, and this connexion with the court led to his son's employment there, some years after wards, as a page in the household of Elizabeth, wife of Lionel, duke of Clarence, the third son of Edward III. In the household accounts of this princess, mention is made of various articles of clothing and other necessaries purchased for Geoffrey Chaucer in April, May, and December, 1357, when he was about seventeen years old. In 1359, he joined the army Of Edward III. When that king invaded France, and was there taken prisoner. In May, 1360, the peace of Bretigny (near Chartres) was concluded between the French and English kings. Chaucer had been set at liberty in March, when Edward paid I6l. Towards his ransom.

Excerpt from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: The Prologue The lines on which this edition of Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury Tales is compiled have been determined by a happy conjunction of my own inclination and an external cause. After it had been begun, Dr. Liddell, one of my collaborators in the 'Globe' Chaucer, edited also for Messrs. Macmillan, though primarily for the Macmillan Company of New York, an edition of the Prologue and the Tales of the Knight and the Nun's Priest. When his book was announced, a dislike of even seeming to compete with a friend who had given me such valuable help in a previous undertaking made me wish to abandon my own task. But on studying Dr. Liddell's edition I found that there was no possibility of any work of mine coming into collision with it, and that its existence made my own task easier. While Dr. Liddell has given a useful minimum of illustrative notes, he has put his main strength into an exposition of Chaucer's practice as regards phonology, grammar, and syntax, which seems to me by far the ablest dissertation on the subject yet published. To this, therefore, I can now happily refer all students who desire advanced instruction in the linguistic aspect of Chaucer's poetry. My own interest in Chaucer is not linguistic, but literary and historical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: Edited, From Numerous Manuscripts I. IN the very brief Introduction to vol. I., I have given a sketch Of the general contents of the present work. I here take Occasion, for the reader's information, to describe somewhat more particularly the chief objects which I have had in View. In the first place, my endeavour has been to produce a thoroughly sound text, founded solely on the best mss. And the earliest prints, which shall satisfy at once the requirements Of the student of language and the reader who delights in poetry. In the interest Of both, it is highly desirable that Chaucer's genuine works Should be kept apart from those which were recklessly associated with them in the early editions, and even in modern editions have been but imperfectly suppressed. It was also desirable, or rather absolutely necessary, that the recent advances in our knowledge Of middle-english grammar and phonetics Should be rightly utilised, and that no verbal form should be allowed to appear which would have been unacceptable to a good scribe of the fourteenth century 1.
