Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chaucer and the Seven Deadly Sins Vitry takes his stand upon Proverbs XXII, 6, Train up a child in the way he should go, etc. 23 Much more to our purpose is the close resemblance between many lines of the Physician's Tale and the well-known patristic tracts on Virginity. The moral traits of Virginia - her humil ity, her modesty of bearing and array, her abstinence from wine, her discretion in speech, her avoidance of society, her dislike of feasts and dances - areprecisely those pre scribed to the consecrated maiden in Ambrose's famous treatise, De Virginibus. Ambrose's presentation of the ideal of virginity and of the perils to which the lamb is subjected from wolves (cf. 0. T., C. 102) culminates, as in Chaucer, with a solemn warning to mothers and fathers (iii, vi).25 And the ten-line application at the close of the Tale (c'. 27 7 is the traditional end ing of an ensample of Sin.

Book excerpt: That resistance, informed by a model of literary influence grounded on the idea of interruption, would keep the Canterbury Tales away from the Decameron, though not the rest of Chaucer from other works by Boccaccio. In the end, of course, that resistance tells us more about Chaucer's reception since the fifteenth century than about Chaucer himself or his sources."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: "Whether we are willing to admit it or not, all of us are engaged, to some degree or another, in an ongoing battle with sin and vice." (Dunnam and Dunnam Reisman 1 [in the following abbriviated as D&DR 1]) If this is the case, we need to become more aware of the 'important' sins and strive for as much knowledge about them as possible. Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. This collection of Middle English stories was written at the end of the 14th century. The different tales are told by pilgrims who are on a journey to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The most interesting story which is discussing the subject of sins, is the Parson's Tale. "The theme of the Parson's Tale is Penitence, and it is treated under the three main heads of Contrition, Confession, and Satisfaction." (Cooper 402) A "large proportion of the Tale [is] taken up by the analysis, in the course of the Confession section, of the seven deadly sins." (Cooper 402) The Parson claims that these seven sins are the source of all other sins, "now been they cleped chieftaynes, for as much as they been chief and spryng of alle othere synnes" (Chaucer Verse 386 [in the following abbreviated by "V386"]) and therefore it is reasonable to focus on these when investigating the subject of sin. However, this paper is unfortunately bound to a very small number of words and can therefore not analyse all seven sins. It will therefore only focus on two, commonly known as the sins of the flesh: gluttony and lust. Consequently, the body of this paper is divided into two sections; each will examine the relevant part of the Parson's Tale. An overview of the receptions of the sins of the flesh in the Middle Ages and today will be given, in order to understand their gist. This will be done by combining old and new definitions, determining the subcatego

Download or read book Chaucer and Clothing written by Laura Fulkerson Hodges and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2005 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed discussion of the meaning and significance of the terms used to describe the clothing of Chaucer's religious and academic pilgrims. Religious and academic dress in the middle ages functioned as a metaphorical signifier of spiritual and intellectual standards, implied a given social status, signalled the rejection or possession of garment wealth, and, in the details, suggested the wearer's spiritual state. This book presents the first sustained analysis of the characterizing dress worn by Chaucer's pilgrims who are in holy orders and/or affiliated with universities; the author uses approaches from a variety of disciplines [received criticism of late medieval literature, developments in political, economic and social history, the visual arts, and material culture] in order to present the complex ideas and rhetoric the pilgrims' dress expresses. She also makes the religious, intellectual, and material culture of Chaucer's day accessible to modern audiences through the reconstruction of the significance of fabrics, dyes, accessories, garments, and assembled costumes, and an explanation of technical details and specialist vocabularies for cloth-making, clothing, accessories, and their images in the visual arts.
