Download or read book Gesta Romanorum written by Christopher Stace and published by Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains an entirely new and accessible translation into modern English of the medieval Latin Gesta Romanorum. Based on the standard Gesta edition by Hermann Österley, it is the first such translation to appear since 1824, and the first to take appropriate account of modern scholarly priorities. The Gesta Romanorum are tales drawn from a wide variety of sources, such as classical mythology, legend and historical chronicles, and are accompanied in almost every case by allegorical Christian interpretations. They were enormously popular throughout the Middle Ages, and had a huge influence on many other authors, such as Boccaccio, Chaucer, Gower, Hoccleve, Shakespeare, Bernard Shaw and Thomas Mann. The Gesta is therefore a foundational work of western European literature as well as one whose lively, well-crafted and often entertaining narratives hold a continuing appeal for contemporary readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From the Gesta Romanorum Romantic fiction pleases all minds, both Old and young: the reason is this, says an old Platonist, that here things are set down as they should be; but in the true history of the world, things are recorded indeed as they are, but it is but a testimony that they have not been as they should be. Wherefore, in the upshot of all, when we shall see that come to pass, that so mightily pleases us in the reading the most ingenious plays and heroic poems, that long afflicted Virtue at last comes to the crown, the mouth Of all unbelievers must be stopped. To the work of the ingenious Mr. Swan, the only translator of these stories that I know Of in this country, I am indebted for my first introduction to these Old tales; and I cannot conclude these few words without thanking him for having Often lightened my labors by his close and admirable versions.
