Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Specimens of the British Poets, Vol. 2 of 7: With Biographical and Critical Notices, and an Essay on English Poetry Geoffrey Chaucer, according to his own account, was born in London, and the year 1328 is generally assigned as the date of his birth. The name is Norman, and, according to Francis Thynne, the antiquarian, is one of those, on the roll of Battle Abbey, which came in with William the Conqueror. Vide Thynne´s animadversions on Speght´s edition of Chaucer, in the Rev. H. Todd´s Illustrations of Gower and Chaucer, p.18. Thynne calls in question Speght´s supposition of Chaucer being the son of a vintner, which Mr. Godwin, in his Life of Chaucer, has adopted. Respecting the arms of the poet, Thynne (who was a herald) farther remarks to Speght, "you set down that some heralds are of opinion that he did not descend from any great house, which they gather by his armes: it is a slender conjecture; for as honourable howses and of as great antiquytye have borne as mean armes as Chaucer, and yet Chaucer´s armes are not so mean eyther for colour, chardge, or particion, as some will make them."
