Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Language of Chaucer's Troilus The following Observations are intended to furnish some materials for the large induction necessary to reasonable certainty in the matter of Chaucer's language, particularly his use of final -e. Other matters than final -e are of course dealt with from time to time; but to this in particular the Observations are directed.

Download or read book The Textual Tradition of Chaucer s Troilus Classic Reprint written by Robert Kilburn Root and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Textual Tradition of Chaucer's Troilus I have regarded as significant variations all those where the agreement of two mss. In a variant reading could not readily be explained as due to coincidence. It must be remembered that in the tradition of a Chaucerian poem one great influence making for corruption operated equally on nearly all scribes of the fifteenth century. This was the linguistic change which rendered mute many unaccented syllables, which in Chaucer's usage preserved full metrical value. Consequent upon this was a general ignorance of Chaucer's metre. Such variations, therefore, as the insertion or omission of which before that, or that after which or how, and in general the insertion or omission of colourless words not vital to the sense, I have usually regarded as not significant. In the same category I have put variations which consist in simple transposi tions of words and phrases within the line, particularly when the transposition results in the substitution of a normal for an inverted order. Such variations must, of course, be taken into account when one comes to the final constitution of a critical text; but on them one cannot safely base any argument for ms. Relation, unless the cases of agreement between two or more mss. In such readings are very numerous. The problem of presenting the results of my study in such form as to make them most readily comprehensible to the reader has not been an easy one. Because of the length of the poem, and the shifting character of some of the authorities, it has seemed best to present the evidence for each of the five books in a separate chapter, and then to resume the whole in a concluding chapter. This method has the disadvantage of broken continuity as regards single aspects of the discussion; but I am convinced that it makes for greater clearness. In citing variant readings, the method is this: First is given the reading of the group of mss. Under discussion, followed by all variants of mss. Within the group. Then follows the reading of the rest of the mss., with all variants which may conceivably have any bearing upon the main variation. When a reading is cited as that of more than one ms. It is spelled according to the ms. First named. Unless the variant reading under discussion is that of a group which includes C1, the reading given as that of the rest of the mss. Is in the spelling of Cl. So far as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Troilus and Criseyde written by Geoffrey Chaucer and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-08-26 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the epic backdrop of the battle of Troy, Troilus and Criseyde is an evocative story of love and loss. When Troilus, the son of Priam, falls in love with the beautiful Criseyde, he is able to win her heart with the help of his cunning uncle Pandarus, and the lovers experience a brief period of bliss together. But the pair are soon forced apart by the inexorable tide of war and - despite their oath to remain faithful - Troilus is ultimately betrayed. Regarded by many as the greatest love poem of the Middle Ages, Troilus and Criseyde skilfully combines elements of comedy and tragedy to form an exquisite meditation on the fragility of romantic love, and the fallibility of humanity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Specimen of Chaucer's Language With Explanatory Notes: A Philological Essay Sir geoffrey chaucer is one of the most illustrious literary characters in English history. The writings of this poet were received by his contemporaries with such general applause and admiration, that after his death, as well as in his lifetime, there were many literary men of his imitators (such as Occleve, Lydgate and others), who took a pride in styling themselves his disciples. The most celebrated authors of his time. And for centuries afterwards, paid him without exception, the highest honours; and that mark of distinction and autho rity, which in old times was stamped upon the writings and memory of Chaucer, seems to have remained unim paired up to our days. Thus Camden, when speaking of Woodstock, which he supposes to be Chaucer' s birthi place, says, that, having nothing in it else remarkable, it boasts of having produced our English Homer, GM frey Chaucer. And Dryden, who I self, as well as a judicious critic, calls him the father of English poetry. Both these statements, though they contain a very high praise, indicate, however, an opi nion, which has been very common among those exami ners of Chaucer's works, to whom we can give credit for taste and discernment. Now as we certainly can give this credit to Mr. Dryden, we cannot do better than quote his own words. We will hear him then a little upon this subject. As he (chaucer) is the father of English poetry, so I hold him in the same degree of veneration as the Grecians held Homer or the Romans Virgil; he is a perpetual fountain of good sense, learned in all sciences, and therefore speaks properly on all sub jects; as he knew what to say, so he knows also when to leave off, a continence which is practised by few writers, and scarcely by any of the Ancients excepting Virgil and Horace. Chaucer followed Nature every where, but was never so bold as to go beyond her and there is a great difference of being poe'ta ai nimis paela, if we may believe Catullus, as much as betwixt a mo dest behaviour and affectation. The verse of Chaucer I confess is not harmonious to us, but it is like the elo quence of one whom Tacitus commends, it was auribw ialina tamparia accommodata. They who lived with him, and some time after him, thought it musical, and it con tinnes so even in our judgment if compared with the numbers of Lydgate and Gower his contemporaries. There is the rude sweetness of a Scotch tune in it, -which is natural and pleasing though not perfeet, a) Ste. And, in fact, this poet excelled in all the different kinds of composition in which he wrote; for if we except the unavoidable defects of the language of his time, we find in his works all the beauties that can be wished for in any of his different writings. And that rude and defective language he has considerably reformed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
