Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Lady Philosophy, coming to rescue the ailing Boethius, castigates the "poetical muses" around his bed as "comune strompettis," she poses a problem for any medieval poet who seeks to reconcile art with morality. According to medieval theory, it was the poet's duty to instruct and uplift through moral wisdom, but Chaucer's gifts led him to an artistic vision independent of moral sanctions, one with the energy and vitality of life itself. Although he set out to put his art in the service of moral truth, he was aware of an equivocal worth in the truth of his poems that ultimately led him to retract the best of them in the moving conclusion to the Canterbury Tales. This book presents a comprehensive interpretation of Chaucer's work by tracing his changing conceptions of his craft. Its theme is Chaucer's constant struggle to reconcile the moral "auctorite" of his age with the "experience" of his vision as an artist. Although the book takes a stand on current critical disputes about Chaucer, it also serves the students and general reader and an introduction and companion to a first reading of the poet. The main emphasis of the book falls on the Canterbury Tales, but the tales are set within an overall picture of Chaucer's development, and there are key chapters on Troilus and the Legend of Good Women. The author concentrates on the texts themselves in extremely successful effort to provide original interpretations of individual tales within the frame of a larger story: Chaucer's evolution as a poet both for his age and for all of time." -Publisher.

Download or read book Essays on the Art of Chaucer's Verse written by Alan T. Gaylord and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These fifteen essays, four of them commissioned for this volume, along with a discursive introduction which sets each essay into place and comments on its distinctive features, represent a gathering never before attempted: a symposium on Chaucer's craft that concentrates on his poetic forms, his rhythms, his riming, his versification, his prosody. In his seminal essay, Scanning the Prosodists, Alan Gaylord (the editor of this volume) had asked: To show how Chaucer moves, and in moving, moves us: is that not what the study of his prosody should do? Should it not identify a pattern of sounds in motion, a regular and expressive succession which is part of the order of verse and a major component of its effectiveness? In the two decades that followed that essay, a number of distinguished scholars provided a variety of answers for such questions, arising from the authors' work as metrical theorists, or editors of medieval verse, or literary historians, or critics -- but in every case, such work connected to the initiatives and discoveries of the classroom. The best written and most useful of those essays, by recognized authorities in their fields, have been included in this volume. The volume will be of use to the advanced student of Chaucer and medieval poetry, and to the teacher interested in identifying, explaining, and bringing to life the patterns of sound and sense in Chaucer's verse. The extensive master Bibliography for the whole volume comprises a library of references which will have been reviewed and discussed in the essays.

Download or read book Chaucer's Queer Poetics written by Susan Schibanoff and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Chaucer was arguably fourteenth-century England's greatest poet. In the nineteenth century, readers of Chaucer's early dream poems - the Book of the Duchess, House of Fame, and Parliament of Fowles - began to detect a tripartite model of his artistic development from a French to an Italian, and finally to an English phase. They fleshed out this model with the liberation narrative, the inspiring story of how Chaucer escaped the emasculating French house of bondage to become the generative father of English poetry. Although this division has now largely been dismissed, both the tripartite model and the accompanying liberation narrative persist in Chaucer criticism. In Chaucer's Queer Poetics, Susan Schibanoff interrogates why the tripartite model remains so tenacious even when literary history does not support it. Revealing deeply rooted Francophobic, homophobic, and nationalistic biases, Schibanoff examines the development paradigm and demonstrates that 'liberated Chaucer' depends on antiquated readings of key source texts for the dream trilogy. This study challenges the long held view the Chaucer fled the prison of effete French court verse to become the 'natural' English father poet and charts a new model of Chaucerian poetic development that discovers the emergence of a queer aesthetic in his work.

Book excerpt: Before Geoffrey Chaucer wrote his most famous work, The Canterbury Tales, he attempted several dream visions: Book of the Duchess, a memorial of Blanche, Duchess of Lancaster, for her widower, John of Gaunt; The Parliament of Fowls, the first Valentine's Day poem in English, in which the birds gather to choose their mates; The House of Fame, a literary investigation of fame, rumor, and reputation; The Legend of Good Women, a collection of legends, or quasi-saints' lives, of women from classical antiquity, retold by the fictional Chaucer as a sort of penance for defaming women in his earlier works. These works are collected here with twenty-one minor poems, all of which show the wit and style of one of the world's great artists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972. This important work of Chaucerian scholarship deals with two aspects of the poet and his work - his individual achievement and his place in history - and demonstrates that in both these senses Chaucer is a maker of English poetry. The author explores Chaucer’s narrative art. The book includes an examination of the puzzling question of narrative structure in the Canterbury Tales and of the nature of Chaucerian comedy in these works. The author surveys the major themes of the poems: Fortune and free will, marriage, and the nobleness of man. In the final chapter she treats of the meaning of Chaucer’s art for his successors. Throughout the work, Miss Kean deals extensively with the sources which Chaucer used for the writing of his poems, in a way which directs light on the more difficult aspects of his art.
