This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Knight's Tale, or Palamon and Arcite Chaucer. - Amongst the rather numerous English poets who wrote in times preceding the sixteenth century, the chief name is that of Geoffrey Chaucer. Indeed, not a few of our oldest poems were written by anonymous authors, or by authors of whom we know little beyond the mere name. Fortunately, owing to his connexion with the court and with official duties, the chief events in Chaucer's life are tolerably well ascertained; and a good account of him is readily accessible in all the more recent books that treat of English literature. It is necessary to consult recent accounts, because the older ones contain numerous state ments founded upon guesswork, which later researches have shown to be misleading and erroneous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prologue and the Knight's Tale Portions of the introduction have been written with a view to the teacher rather than the pupil, my aim being to give in a concise form the materials which the teacher requires to have at his disposal if the taught are to obtain an adequate conception of Chaucer's importance in the history of English literature and language. It is impossible to acknowledge in detail all the instances in which this edition is based upon the work of predecessors, though I have attempted to do so to the best of my ability. A short bibliography containing a list of authorities consulted - or to be consulted - has been appended. Yet, while drawing attention to my indebted ness to others, I may be permitted to express the hope that amongst much that is old, there may be found something that is new.
