Book excerpt: Suggests that the problems scholars have with Chaucer's nine legends of good women vanish if Chaucer is assumed to have written them as scripts to be performed as well as a text to be disseminated in manuscript. Otherwise the work is virtually ignored as a flat, incomplete endeavor between two really good books. Examines the two prologues and each legend in turn, showing how the phrasing and choice of words would have been received as humorous by an audience.

Download or read book Telling Classical Tales written by Lisa J. Kiser and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies have shown the importance of Chaucer's reliance on classical literature as the source of his own art. In Telling Classical Tales, Lisa Kiser significantly expands this area of critical inquiry by her reading of Chaucer's Legend of Good Women—a relatively neglected poem that Kiser argues is of central importance in understanding Chaucer's concern with classical texts and his development as a poet. Looking closely at the classical references in the Legend, Kiser treats the Prologue and the individual legends in detail. She discusses the classical origins of the two main characters, their relationship to other characters in medieval literature, and the underlying significance of their comic dialogue. Her analysis leads to the conclusion that Chaucer's main purpose in writing the Legend of Good Women was to describe and defend his own principles of narrative art. The fullest and richest interpretation of Chaucer's Legend of Good Women available, this book will interest medievalists, classicists, and Chaucerians as well as students and scholars of Renaissance literature.

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.

Download or read book The Legend of Good Women written by Geoffrey Chaucer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is only a few months ago that we brought before the notice of our readers Professor Skeat's edition of the Minor Poems of Chaucer, and now we have the pleasure of welcoming an edition of Chaucer's Legend of Good Women, the work of the same indefatigable scholar. Professor Skeat infers from various notices in other poems of Chaucer, and from internal evidence, that the present poem was begun in the spring of 1385, so that it was the immediate precursor of The Canterbury Tales. In the Introduction to the Man of Lawes Prologue Chaucer expressly refers to this poem, which he is pleased to call "the saintes legende of Cupide," i. e. the Legend of Cupid's Saints. The poem consists of a succession of tales, and each tale relates the story of some woman famous in love. We are able to infer from lists in two other poems of Chaucer, that the poet's plan was to write the stories of Alcestis and of nineteen other women; but long before he had completed the plan he grew tired of the task, and at last gave it up in the middle of a sentence. Instead of twenty stories we have in the present poem only ten, written in nine Legends. The names of the ten holy martyrs of love are Cleopatra, Thisbe of Babylon, Dido, Hypsipyle, Medea, Lucretia, Ariadne, Philomela, Phyllis, and Hypermnestra. Professor Skeat thinks that we may be quite sure that such stories of " martyred" women were suggested by Ovid's Heroides, and Boccaccio's book entitled De Claris Mulicribus, a work containing 105 tales of illustrious women, briefly told in Latin prose. Hence no doubt the title of Chaucer's poem, The Legend of Good Women. --The Oxford Magazine, Vol. 8.
