Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Commentary on the Poetry of Chaucer Spenser This book has come together somewhat occasionally. Originally conceived as two of several essays designed to consider some of our older poets from the standpoint of modern interest, it has finally taken the shape of a detailed critical account of Chaucer and Spenser. The explanation is that while the essays were still incomplete, I was asked to deliver, in the Session 1914-1915, the Clark Lectures in Trinity College, Cambridge, and, as I was then busy with those two poets, I chose them as my subject. Literary essays and class-room comment are different things, and to turn my material into lectures during the stress of the National preoccupation was not easy. Nevertheless, doing what I could, I found myself as of course hastily altering, both by omission and addition, and in the upshot, I am afraid, deferring the interests of the general reader to those of the student. And now when later I have tried again to recast in more literary form, I am not sure that I have ended by satisfying either party. But I have had two guiding considerations.

It is impossible to pronounce positively on the subject the question whether Chaucer saw Petrarch in 1373 must remain a moot-point, so long as we have only our present information but fancy loves to dwell on the thought of the two poets conversing under the vines at Arqua and we find in the history and the writings of Chaucer nothing to contradict, a good deal to countenance, the belief that such a meeting occurred.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spenser, and His Poetry, Vol. 1 of 3 With the single exception perhaps of Homer (who nowhere goes farther than a vague I or me, and only on some two or three occasions so far), all the great writers of the world who have not (like the dramatists) been precluded by the form of their compositions from ever coming forward in their own persons have told us, either by allusion or by direct statement, something of them selves in their writings. In general, indeed, an author's life both throws light upon his works, and derives illus tretien from them. Spenser's poetry abounds in refer caces to his personal history.

Download or read book The Cambridge Poets written by Edmund Spenser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cambridge Poets: Spenser The Glossary was built up on the principle of recording all words and phrases which in modern poetry would be obsolete or markedly archaic. Later, some of this material was transferred to the Notes. The scheme of division is that all words obsolete in form will be found in the Glossary, and such words, modern in form but obsolete in sense, as are of frequent occurrence. Rarer examples of modern words in obsolete senses will be found in the Notes, with due machinery of cross references. It is hoped that without much difficulty the 'general reader may be able to acquaint himself with the exact meaning of any word or phrase which puzzles him. If he is annoyed by the inclusion of much that he could understand unaided, he is begged to remember that one purpose of Notes and Glossary is to furnish an approximately complete list of Spenser archaisms. The debt of the editor of any classic to his predecessors must necessarily be great. That of the present editor was too great to be acknowledged in detail. To indicate in the Notes and elsewhere the source of every explanation or idea would have been to load them with the names of most who have labored in this field: all that could be done was to mark direct quotations. For some of the matter here offered for the first time he is further more indebted to various learned colleagues and friends, who helped him to what he could not find unaided; to others he owes much in the way of criticism and direct assist ance. His thanks are particularly due to the Principal Librarian of the British Museum and to the Librarian of Harvard College for the use of those early editions of Spenser without which he could never have undertaken the most important part of his work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chaucer the Rival Poet in Shakespeare's Sonnets: A New Theory The various books to which I am under obliga tion for much of my information have been duly mentioned in the text. I should also state that I have found very valuable Dr. Caroline Spurgeon's Five Hundred Years of Chaucer Criticism. I have to express my best thanks to my friend Mr. F. G. Rucker for so kindly looking through the proofs. It was thought better to modernise some of the spelling of Chaucer, and that of the Sonnets almost entirely, for the sake of those readers who are not familiar with Middle or Elizabethan English. In some cases it seemed better to preserve the old spelling. It is regretted that it was not found possible to adopt any consistent plan in doing this, but it was felt that whatever interest or value the book might possess was not dependent upon etymological exactness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concordance to the Poems of Edmund Spenser Spenser is not a popular poet. He has never been in any marked degree even fashionable. Milton, content with fit audience though few, ranked in Pope's and Johnson's time with Shakespeare and the musical glasses. Ladies read his poetry in their boudoirs, and chatted about its beauties in company - absurdly enough no doubt. But such admiration could never befall Spenser. His mate rials, quality, and intention forbid that a multitude of readers should ever gather about him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Poet and the Antiquaries written by Megan L. Cook and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1532 and 1602, the works of Geoffrey Chaucer were published in no less than six folio editions. These were, in fact, the largest books of poetry produced in sixteenth-century England, and they significantly shaped the perceptions of Chaucer that would hold sway for centuries to come. But it is the stories behind these editions that are the focus of Megan L. Cook's interest in The Poet and the Antiquaries. She explores how antiquarians—historians, lexicographers, religious polemicists, and other readers with a professional, but not necessarily literary, interest in the English past—played an indispensable role in making Chaucer a figure of lasting literary and cultural importance. After establishing the antiquarian involvement in the publication of the folio editions, Cook offers a series of case studies that discuss Chaucer and his works in relation to specific sixteenth-century discourses about the past. She turns to early accounts of Chaucer's biography to show how important they were in constructing the poet as a figure whose life and works could be known, understood, and valued by later readers. She considers the claims made about Chaucer's religious views, especially the assertions that he was a proto-Protestant, and the effects they had on shaping his canon. Looking at early modern views on Chaucerian language, she illustrates how complicated the relations between past and present forms of English were thought to be. Finally, she demonstrates the ways in which antiquarian readers applied knowledge from other areas of scholarship to their reading of Middle English texts. Linking Chaucer's exceptional standing in the poetic canon with his role as a symbol of linguistic and national identity, The Poet and the Antiquaries demonstrates how and why Chaucer became not only the first English author to become a subject of historical inquiry but also a crucial figure for conceptualizing the medieval in early modern England.
