Excerpt from Selections From Chaucer: Including His Earlier and His Later, Verse and an Example of His Prose Edited With an Introduction and Notes This volume is not designed primarily for those who wish to use the text of Chaucer as an introduction to the study of Middle English, but for those who wish to read and enjoy his verse as literature. Such simple essentials of grammar and prosody are, however, provided as the teacher will desire to have in convenient form for reference. No course - even in English - should be made easy, except with the ease that comes, attended by a sense of triumph and delight, through the discipline of persistent effort. But, in the case of Chaucer, there is every reason for deferring more elaborate presentation of what will else seem unmeaning and forbidding detail, until an awakened interest may serve to vitalize and humanize it. As the purpose of this volume is to illustrate Chaucer's genius, a wider range of selections is included than is usual in such volumes. The Canterbury Tales must be amply represented; it is impossible to omit the Prologue, Knight's Tale, Nun's Priest's Tale, Pardoner's Tale, and an example of the connecting narrative which forms the framework of the tales. Yet, assuredly, the student should not be allowed to form the impression, as so many do, that Chaucer was so much a man of one work that his others are negligible. Hence, part of one of his earlier long poems, the House of Fame, and examples of his lyrics and prose, have been included. This wider range of selection will, it is believed, be welcomed. All the selections cannot, it is true, be read, except with undue rapidity, within the classroom in a single term. But opportunity is given for the teacher's own selection, and for varying more slow and careful reading by rapid sight reading and for the assignment of private readings as themes for appreciative essays. An experiment is tried in this volume which needs, perhaps, a word of explanation. Every one should begin the reading of Chaucer with the immortal Prologue. But it should be read, - not mulled over, - and here the obstacle arises that it offers special difficulty in that it contains so large a number of obsolete or unusual words and meanings.

Book Description
Excerpt from Poems of Chaucer: Selections From His Earlier and Later Works; Edited With Introduction, Biographical and Grammatical Notes and Glossary The purpose of this book is to present an introduction to Chaucer's poetry through selections from both his earlier and later works. Most introductory books for forty years have included only the Prologue and one or two selections from the Canterbury Tales. The student who reads these only has no knowledge of the charming minor poems, or of the development of the poet's genius through more than a quarter century. This is an attempt to give, in a begin ner's book, an adequate introduction to the minor poems as well as to Chaucer's masterpiece.
