Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Early Female Novelists, and Other Essays In the history of English story-telling an altogether notable place is occupied by Chaucer´s Canterbury Tales. They are remarkable not only as masterpieces of narrative, but as containing both description of incidents and delineation of manners; not only as triumphs of literary expression, but as giving artistic form both to the romance of chivalry and to the tale of common life. Wholly wonderful it is that at so early a period such directness of movement and perfection of style, such vividness of portraiture and realism of incident, are found in verse, while centuries pass before similar excellences are found in prose. It is, indeed, peculiarly interesting to contrast Chaucer´s practice with the subsequent course of English fiction.
