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.

Book excerpt: Discover one of the great collections of medieval literature with this historic work, which features more than 180 tales of Greeks, Romans, Britons, biblical figures, and others. Drawn from European and Asian sources, the stories abound in fascinating figures from all walks of life, including Pope Gregory, Noah, Socrates, and a host of other characters, from emperors to pirates. Chaucer, Boccaccio, and Shakespeare are among the writers influenced by these fables, and readers may recognize scenes reminiscent of The Merchant of Venice, King Lear, "The Lawyer's Tale" from Canterbury Tales, and other works. The origins of Gesta Romanorum are obscure; it is thought to have been compiled in the late thirteenth century, and the author's identity is uncertain. As the name suggests, the stories were written in Latin. Gesta, meaning deeds, later came to signify jest because of these lighthearted tales and their enduring power to amuse and inspire.
