Book Description
Contained inside the covers of this book are the answers that I have found to life’s greatest mysteries, and hopefully between the rhythms and rhymes you can come to the same understanding that I have. In this world we are not alone and that in this world, though we may feel like it is not possible that anyone has ever hurt like we have or are hurting like we are, that throughout all time, someone or somewhere has felt how we are feeling and that is a statement of life. Though every word may not always rhyme with its predecessor, you will find that the thoughts that each poem conveys will aid in your understanding of my mind and the pain I have endured and the pleasures I have encountered. The sun will always rise whether you like it or not. I hope this totem of thought will help you contemplate and conceptualize the rest of your life as it has helped me in writing it. Through years of hard work, through my trials and tribulations, I happily present to you “The Ballad of the Boy named B.”

Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer
Author: Geoffrey Chaucer

ISBN: 1605205206

Languages : en
Pages : 602
Book Description
It is impossible to overstate the importance of English poet GEOFFREY CHAUCER (c. 1343 c. 1400) to the development of literature in the English language. His writings which were popular during his own lifetime with the nobility as well as with the increasingly literate merchant class marked the first celebration of the English vernacular as a tongue worthy of literary endeavor, most notably in his unfinished narrative poem The Canterbury Tales, the format and structure of which continues to be imitated by writers today. But the impact of Chaucer s work was felt even into the 16th and 17th centuries, when the first major collections of his writings set a high standard for how authors should be presented to the reading public. This widely esteemed seven-volume set first published in the 1890s by British academic WALTER WILLIAM SKEAT (1835 1912), Erlington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Cambridge University is based solely on Chaucer s original manuscripts and the earliest available published works (with any significant variations or deviations between versions highlighted in the extensive notes), and comes complete with Skeat s informative commentary on many passages. Volume III features: The Hous of Fame, one of Chaucer s earliest works, a poem some scholars consider a parody of Dante s Divine Comedy The Legend of Good Women, a dream-vision poem that represents an early major example of iambic pentameter in the English language A Treatise on the Astrolabe, the oldest work in English about a scientific instrument
