Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Two Prologues to Chaucer's Legend of Good Women The Prologue to Chaucer's Legend of Good Women has come down to us in two distinct versions. That these versions go back to distinct originals, and not to a common original greatly distorted in the course of transmission, is shown by large variations both in subject matter and form. That they are very closely related to each other is no less evident from the fact that a large number of lines, more than half of the shorter version, are exactly identical in both. Moreover, the lines which are peculiar to One version or to the other and those which are common to both, bear alike the unmistakable stamp Of Chaucerian authorship. It may at once be taken for granted, therefore, - for the conclusion is irresistible, that one of these versions is a revised or rewritten form Of the other, and that the revision was made by the poet himself.

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 Love Visions written by Geoffrey Chaucer and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-05-25 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning Chaucer's working life, these four poems build on the medieval convention of 'love visions' - poems inspired by dreams, woven into rich allegories about the rituals and emotions of courtly love. In The Book of the Duchess, the most traditional of the four, the dreamer meets a widower who has loved and lost the perfect lady, and The House of Fame describes a dream journey in which the poet meets with classical divinities. Witty, lively and playful, The Parliament of Birds details an encounter with the birds of the world in the Garden of Nature as they seek to meet their mates, while The Legend of Good Women sees Chaucer being censured by the God of Love, and seeking to make amends, for writing poems that depict unfaithful women. Together, the four create a marvellously witty, lively and humane self-portrait of the poet.
