Book Description
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 Selections From Chaucer: Including His Earlier and His Later, Verse and an Example of His Prose Edited With an Introduction and Notes This volume is not designed primarily for those who wish to use the text of Chaucer as an introduction to the study of Middle English, but for those who wish to read and enjoy his verse as literature. Such simple essentials of grammar and prosody are, however, provided as the teacher will desire to have in convenient form for reference. No course - even in English - should be made easy, except with the ease that comes, attended by a sense of triumph and delight, through the discipline of persistent effort. But, in the case of Chaucer, there is every reason for deferring more elaborate presentation of what will else seem unmeaning and forbidding detail, until an awakened interest may serve to vitalize and humanize it. As the purpose of this volume is to illustrate Chaucer's genius, a wider range of selections is included than is usual in such volumes. The Canterbury Tales must be amply represented; it is impossible to omit the Prologue, Knight's Tale, Nun's Priest's Tale, Pardoner's Tale, and an example of the connecting narrative which forms the framework of the tales. Yet, assuredly, the student should not be allowed to form the impression, as so many do, that Chaucer was so much a man of one work that his others are negligible. Hence, part of one of his earlier long poems, the House of Fame, and examples of his lyrics and prose, have been included. This wider range of selection will, it is believed, be welcomed. All the selections cannot, it is true, be read, except with undue rapidity, within the classroom in a single term. But opportunity is given for the teacher's own selection, and for varying more slow and careful reading by rapid sight reading and for the assignment of private readings as themes for appreciative essays. An experiment is tried in this volume which needs, perhaps, a word of explanation. Every one should begin the reading of Chaucer with the immortal Prologue. But it should be read, - not mulled over, - and here the obstacle arises that it offers special difficulty in that it contains so large a number of obsolete or unusual words and meanings.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selections From Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: Ellesmere d104 This edition of Selections from The Canterbury Tales has been prepared as an introduction to the study of Chaucer as a poet rather than as a writer of fourteenth century English; and, accordingly, all philological information not absolutely needed for such study has been omitted; but all requisite aids to a knowledge of the language as it is, irrespective of its sources, are afforded by the synopsis of grammatical forms given in the General Introduction, and by a designation of the grammatical categories of all words recorded in the Glossary, except where the definitions indicate the same. It was not thought necessary to obtrude upon the student's attention the unimportant variations which the different texts of The Canterbury Tales exhibit. Attention is called in the Notes to any variation which gives a different meaning from the reading of the Ellesmere text. In a very few cases, other readings than those of the Ellesmere have been adopted, but their adoption has always been noted. It is remarkable how slight the variations in the several texts really are. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Excerpt from Poems of Chaucer: Selections From His Earlier and Later Works; Edited With Introduction, Biographical and Grammatical Notes and Glossary The purpose of this book is to present an introduction to Chaucer's poetry through selections from both his earlier and later works. Most introductory books for forty years have included only the Prologue and one or two selections from the Canterbury Tales. The student who reads these only has no knowledge of the charming minor poems, or of the development of the poet's genius through more than a quarter century. This is an attempt to give, in a begin ner's book, an adequate introduction to the minor poems as well as to Chaucer's masterpiece.

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.
