Book Description
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.

Book Description
The most complete of all remaining surviving fragments sections of The Canterbury Tales, the First Fragment contains some of Chaucer's most widely enjoyed work. In The General Prologue, Chaucer introduces his pilgrims through a set of speaking portraits, drawn with a clarity that makes no attempt to conceal their peculiarities. The four tales that follow - those of the Knight, Miller, Reeve and Cook - reveal a wide variety of human preoccupations: whether chivalrous, romantic or simply sexual. Brilliantly bawdy and subtly complex, each of these tales is alive with Chaucer's skills as a poet, storyteller and creator of comedy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Chaucer Decade since-his death. But since Tyrwhitt began his labours, nowjust a century ago, one great section of Chaucer's work, the Cafl/erbufy Tales, has been accessible in a fairly correct form, and thanks to the labours of the Chaucer sociecty - alike to its unweary ing director and the students, English, American, and German; who have come to his help - thc materials for a sound text of the whole of the poet's rl-zs, and much useful information about his life and studies, are at last available. To-day Chaucer has} more readers and more lovers than at any previ ouse time, and every year increases their number. But oh] errors about him are still potent. Poems, for the most part quite unworthy of him, for which in the'sixteenth century party feeling or editorial caprice sought the cloak of his name, are still attributed to him, and the story of his life is still obscured by. Mischievous fictions. The controversies thus created are not yet dead, and one unhappy result of them is that this little book cannot be written qiiite so simply as might be wished. It is not always enough merely to set down what is known about Chaucer, we have also to show how and why it is known, lest the next tithe a contradictory statement is encountered it may seem to possess equal weight. Only a very dull person will allow these details to usurp ah unreal importance, but for the present we cannot wholly do without them.

Book Description
Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the most notable English poets of all time and is sometimes referred to as the Father of English literature. He lived during the fourteenth century and was a noted author, philosopher, alchemist, and civil servant. His most well known work is The Canterbury Tales, which are published here as part of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Annotated and Accented - with Illustrations of English Life in Chaucer's Time. Saunders' book is not merely a collection of Chaucer's work. Rather, the editor and author has included nearly two hundred pages of contextual information on the life of Chaucer, and the characters, settings, and time periods that are detailed in The Canterbury Tales. Specifically, these introductory chapters are devoted to discussions of The Tabard, chivalry, religion, professional men, and trade and commerce. Following this introduction, the stories that together form The Canterbury Tales are presented. Structured as a Pilgrim story-telling contest, these tales are written in both verse and traditional prose. The tales are highly critical of English society and in particular the role of the Church. In all fourteen works from The Canterbury Tales are included in this collection, along with four of Chaucer's works from other collections. Each story is presented alongside remarks from John Saunders, who helps to analyze the story for the modern reader. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Annotated and Accented - with Illustrations of English Life in Chaucer's Time is a collection of some of the most revered and influential writing in the history of the English language. This book is a must read for anybody who appreciates modern literature and is interested in the work of one of its founding fathers.
