Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chronicle of Froissart, Vol. 1 Lord Berners is not among the greatest of translators his rank is nearer Caxton than Malory - but his version of Froissart is a true version it is really Froissart in English, and in English that sounds like Froissart. As Malory gives in English (with much of his own besides) the tone of the old French language of the Queste del St. Graal, so the sentences of Lord Berners' translation are of the F ourteenth Century and not of the Sixteenth. He tried occasionally to write a style of his own, and was proud of it, no doubt it appears in his prefaces, a style rhetorical and cultivated.

Book Synopsis The Chronicles of Froissart (Classic Reprint) by : John Bourchier
Download or read book The Chronicles of Froissart (Classic Reprint) written by John Bourchier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chronicles of Froissart The difficulties which stand in the way of the reader of Froissart are, first, the vast extent of the Chronicles and their rambling and disconnected character, and secondly, so far as the English reader is concerned, the want of a satisfactory translation for though the language of the original is by no means difficult, yet it is not every one who is prepared to face the unfamiliar forms and spelling of fourteenth-century French. The existing English ver 51ons are two in number, one of the early sixteenth and the other of the early nineteenth century. The first is vigorous and spirited, but full of inaccuracies of text and translation and of irregularities of style, and also disfigured by many misprints and by the utter corruption of many proper names the other is respectable and commonplace, with far fewer blunders, though by no means faultless in this respect, but certainly not in any sense alive with the Spirit of the original. A new translation is evidently desirable but on the whole it seems safer to attempt the task of editing a portion of the older of the exist ipg versions, which can hardly be said as yet to have been even corrected for 1 ie press. The translation of Froissart by Lord Berners is established as an English classic, and many generations of Englishmen have made their acquaintance with the Chronicles through it. At the same time, though it has been re printed in the present century, it is only to be obtained at a rather high price and in a somewhat inconvenient form. An edition of the whole translation would require far more space than the single volume to which I am limited would afford, but there is some consolation for the omissions which the plan of this work renders necessary. Froissart is one of those authors of whom it may be said in a certain sense that the half is more than the whole. The student of history indeed would not willingly spare a single page, but the effect of the whole narrative will often gain considerably by the omission of the less important gests of arms, which interfere with the flow of the main current of the story, and we may perhaps also consent to spare from a popular edition the history of some of the events that lay remote from the chronicler's own field of observation, as the chapters relating to the English expedition to Portugal and Galicia, which are called by a good authority 'les plus confus et les plus inexacts de toute l'oeuvre historique de Froissart, ' and the events in England in the latter years of Richard II., in relating which he is admittedly very inaccurate. By such omissions as these the exuberant bulk of the Chronicles may be reduced, and the more interesting and important parts of them may be more satisfactorily presented to the reader. In many cases the omissions are such as to give greater continuity to the story; but in order to indicate clearly what has been omitted, as well as to supply any links that may be required for the understanding of the narrative, summaries have been inserted of that which is left out, varying in length according to the importance of the matter dealt with and its more or less direct bearing upon that which is given in full. Notwithstanding therefore the very considerable extent of the omissions, the result is not a series of extracts, but a continuous history. The fact that a larger proportion is omitted of the second volume than of the first is due to the greater diffuseness of the Chronicles in the later period the first volume includes the events of more than fifty years, the second those of only fifteen.

Download or read book The Chronicles of Sir John Froissart written by Adam Singleton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chronicles of Sir John Froissart: Condensed for Young Readers It is therefore much more a matter of importance to get the right kind of book than to get a living teacher. The book which teaches results, and at the same time gives in an intelligible manner the steps of discovery and the methods employed, is a book which will stimulate the student to repeat the ex periments described and get beyond them into fields of original research himself. Every one remem bers the published lectures of Faraday on chemistry, which exercised a wide influence in changing the style of books on natural science, causing them to deal with method more than results, and thus train the reader's power of conducting original research. Robinson Crusoe for nearly two hundred years has aroused the spirit of adventure and prompted young men to resort to the border lands of civilization. A library of home reading should contain books that in cite to self-activity and arouse the spirit of inquiry. The books should treat of methods of discovery and evolution. All nature is unified by the discovery of the law of evolution. Each and every being in the world is now explained by the process of development to which it belongs. Every fact now throws light on all the others by illustrating the process of growth in which each has its end and aim.

INTRO- information about itself and its manners. That Froissart DUCTION should be turned into English before the last reflection of the age of Froissart had died away in the new era of the Sixteenth Century, that the courtly poet and historian of the times of Edward 1n. should be brought by translation into a closer partnership with Chaucer, was a thing to be desired more than most of the literary things provided under the reign of Henry vra.; and it was fortunately accomplished by the man whose mission it might seem to have been to rescue as much as he could of the treasures of the Middle Ages before they were overwhelmed by new learning. He translated Froissart, he translated Huon of Bordeaux. Mediaeval Literature TheWeakness Lord Berners is a follower of Chaucer and Malory as an of English interpreter in English of some of the courtly French literature which was for the most part so imperfectly understood, though so generously admired, in the island of Britain. What the English had been deprived of by the accidents of their history was the peculiar glory of the Middle Ages; they had no proper courtly romance, no chivalrous stories in their own language of the same temper as those of France. Many things are attainable in a literature like that of England between the Norman Conquest and the Revival of Learning; but what was not attainable before Chaucer, and very feebly remembered after him, was precisely that sort of grace which belongs to a Court, to a refined affected mode of sentiment, like that of the Romaunt of the Rose. Before Chaucer and Grower acquired it, the English had not the right of entry to that world; and in most of their persevering studies of the way to be gentle, they are little better than the ambitious gallants in...
