Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guide to Chaucer and Spenser The reasons for the publication of this Guide are the following: 1. There is no accessible trustworthy work on the subject at a moderate price. 2. The information necessary for a student of Chaucer is scattered through a number of works, some expensive, some of small intrinsic value, some difficult to obtain. 3. The valuable additions to our critical knowledge of Chaucer, made of late years by Messrs Bradshaw, Skeat, Morris, Furnival, Lowell, Ten Brink, and others, have been so overlaid with premature conclusions and insufficiently founded hypotheses, as to rhyme-tests, hopeless early love, and other matters, that it is needful to recall students to a juster appreciation of the value of the old traditions, and to vindicate the Chaucerian authorship of some of the rejected writings. 4. The received hypotheses as to the chronology of the poems seem capable of improvement in various ways. Of course, in so small a work, it cannot be expected that all these ends have been fully attained. I hope, however, that some advance has been made toward their attainment; and that a scheme has been laid down for the order of study of these works which is practicable and desirable.
