This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indebtedness of Chaucer's Works to the Italian Works of Boccaccio (a Review and Summary): A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy And the work was pursued only in the hope that an approximate form of truth might be obtained, which might prove of value to stud ents of Chaucer problems. Were the riddle in the relations existing between Chaucer and Boccaccio capable of one unquestioned solution, that solution would have been determined long ago, for scholars have long employed their wits upon it; and certainly, if the riddle had been only once and for always propounded and then answered imme diately and dogmatically, the solution, however interesting it might have been, would have thrown little light upon the genius of Chau cer. In a word, an immediate solution would have precluded, and still would preclude, its own value. It would aver one of two facts, either that the relations, - whatever they might have been, personal, literary, of friendship or of discipleship - existing between the two poets were of no real value to Chaucer, or that Chaucer's work, having become too dependent upon those relations, would have no value for us to-day, five centuries after the poet's death. Neither of these facts is admissible. The relations existing between the two poets were of great, although not necessarily of supreme, value to Chaucer; and Chaucer, even themost arrant of Philis tines would admit, is of very considerable value to us!

Book Synopsis English and Italian Literature From Dante to Shakespeare by : Robin Kirkpatrick
Download or read book English and Italian Literature From Dante to Shakespeare written by Robin Kirkpatrick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive critical comparison of English and Italian literature from the three centuries from Dante to Shakespeare. It begins by examining Chaucer's relationship with Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, and then looks at similar relationships within the areas of humanist education, lyric poetry, the epic, theatrical comedy, the short story and the pastoral drama. It provides a detailed comparison of major works from both traditions including descriptive and critical readings of Italian works. It shows why English writers valued such works and demonstrates the ways in which they departed from or tried to outdo the Italian original. Assuming no prior knowledge of Italy or Italian literary history, this book introduces the student and general reader to one of the most important and fascinating phases in European literary history.

Book Synopsis Chaucer and the Early Writings of Boccaccio by : David Wallace
Download or read book Chaucer and the Early Writings of Boccaccio written by David Wallace and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1985 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Wallace's examination of the aims and literary affiliations of Boccaccio's early writings provides an indispensable preface to and context for an informed appraisal of Chaucer's usage of Boccaccio. Previous studies of the relationship between the work of the two poets have tended to consider Chaucer's borrowings without making a thorough study of the traditions which shaped the Italian writer's work. Wallace argues that Boccaccio was not primarily concerned with winning recognition at the Angevin court, but was chiefly concerned with fashioning an identity for himself as an illustrious vernacular author. Chaucer recognised that both the l>Filostrato/l> and l>Teseida/l> derived their basic narrative capabilities from popular tradition analogous to that of the English tail-rhyme romance. Following a detailed analysis of Chaucer's translation practice in l>Troilus and Criseyde/l>, Wallace concludes that it was Boccaccio's attempt to develop a narrative art occupying the middle ground between popular and illustrious, domestic and European traditions that Chaucer found so uniquely congenial and instructive.

Download or read book Chaucer's Italy written by Richard Owen and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the influence of Italy and Italians on Chaucer’s life and writing. Geoffrey Chaucer might be considered the quintessential English writer, but he drew much of his inspiration and material from Italy. In fact, without the tremendous influence of Francesco Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio (among others), the author of The Canterbury Tales might never have assumed his place as the “father” of English literature. Nevertheless, Richard Owen’s Chaucer’s Italy begins in London, where the poet dealt with Italian merchants in his roles as court diplomat and customs official. Next Owen takes us, via Chaucer’s capture at the siege of Rheims, to his involvement in arranging the marriage of King Edward III’s son Lionel in Milan and his missions to Genoa and Florence. By scrutinizing his encounters with Petrarch, Boccaccio, and the mercenary knight John Hawkwood—and with vividly evocative descriptions of the Arezzo, Padua, Florence, Certaldo, and Milan that Chaucer would have encountered—Owen reveals the deep influence of Italy’s people and towns on Chaucer’s poems and stories. Much writing on Chaucer depicts a misleadingly parochial figure, but as Owen’s enlightening short study of Chaucer’s Italian years makes clear, the poet’s life was internationally eventful. The consequences have made the English canon what it is today.
