Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Philology, Vol. 3: 1905-1906 The Dry Sea and the Carrenare constitute a sort of "dark tower" in Chaucer criticism, and there accordingly attaches at least the melancholy interest of viewing the last of him to each new aspirant who, more or less dauntless, sets the slug-horn to his lips and blows. Yet perhaps it should be said, by way of justifying an attempt predestined, it may seem, to swell the numbers of the lost adventurers, that the solution here to be proposed, if it find confirmation, removes the problem from the sphere of merely curious questions and gives the allusion an unexpected value quite independent of its setting in the poem. For, aside from what appears to be its very intimate relation to the results of recent archaeological discoveries in one of the most interesting quarters of the farther East, and its concrete embodiment of the transition from the geography of fable to the geography of fact; aside, too, from its curious foreshadowing, perhaps, of what a little later turned out to be the romance of the New World, the reference seems to help us to a glimpse, at least, of something which is even more illuminating - the background in space against which, more or less vaguely, the life of Chaucer´s century was felt to be projected; the fashion after which men had come to visualize "this litel spot of erthe, that with the see enbraced is."
