Book excerpt: Much of this poem is devoted to the first use of the heroic couple by Chaucer to retell in lyrical form the tragic love stories of Cleopatra, Thisbe, Dido, Hypsipyle, Medea, Lucrece, Ariadne, Philomela, Phyllis and Hypermnestra. The primary authors of the primary sources of these stories from which Chaucer makes his own adaptations are Ovid and Boccacio with some pinching from Plutarch and Guido delle Colonne as well. Many of these love stories end with the suicide of the female resulting either from a broken heart at losing their true love or a broken heart at being seduced and abandoned. The overwhelming critical consensus is that taken either individually or collectively, the non-original adaptations of existing tales of tragic love are inferior to the Prologue which sets the stage for why he has chosen to revisit those timeless stories of myth and history. That Prologue begins by introducing a topic that at the time was a poetic debate of monumental proportions: does one prefer the leaf or the flower? Although professing to excuse himself from involvement this highly contentious argument, ultimately, he comes down fairly obviously within the camp of the cult of the daisy; the daisy being a standard thematic symbol of love poetry. That encampment sets the stage for the meat of the Prologue which in turns provides the narrative thrust for the tragic love affairs to follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Professor Collette's approach to this challenging and provocative poem reflects her wide scholarly interests, her expertise in the area of representations of women in late medieval European society, and her conviction that the Legend of Good Women can be better understood when positioned within several of the era's intellectual concerns and historical contexts. The book will enrich the ongoing conversation among Chaucerians as to the significance of the Legend, both as an individual cultural production and an important constituent of Chaucer's poetic.achievement. A praiseworthy and useful monograph." Professor Robert Hanning, Columbia University. The Legend of Good Women has perhaps not always had the appreciation or attention it deserves. Here, it is read as one of Chaucer's major texts, a thematically and artistically sophisticated work whose veneer of transparency and narrow focus masks a vital inquiry into basic questions of value, moderation, and sincerity in late medieval culture. The volume places Chaucer within several literary contexts developed in separate chapters: early humanist bibliophilia, translation and the development of the vernacular; late medieval compendia of exemplary narratives centred in women's choices written by Boccaccio, Machaut, Gower and Christine de Pizan; and the pervasive late fourteenth-century cultural influence of Aristotelian ideas of the mean, moderation, and value, focusing on Oresme's translations of the Ethics into French. It concludes with two chapters on the context of Chaucer's continual reconsideration of issues of exchange, moderation and fidelity apparent in thematic, figurative and semantic connections that link the Legend both to Troilus and Criseyde and to the women of The Canterbury Tales. Carolyn Collette is Emeritus Professor of English Language and Literature at Mount Holyoke College and a Research Associate at the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of York.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prologue to the Legend of Good Women Considered in Its Chronological Relations In a poem containing an address to certain singers to whom he specifically acknowledges indebtedness, Chaucer gives evidence of having borrowed from a poem of Des champs. Deschamps is known to have sent to Chaucer by Clifford certain poems of his own, with a request that the compliment be returned. There is accordingly the strongest antecedent probability that the particular poem of Deschamps which Chaucer did know, to whose writer, among others, he did, as it seems, make distinct acknowledgment, was among those which reached him from Deschamps himself through.
