Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Chaucer, Vol. 2 of 3: His Life and Writings The undisputed poetry of Chaucer is found, as the investigation in the previous part shows, to fall under twenty-six titles, and to embrace nearly thirty-five thousand lines - in precise figures thirty-four thou sand, nine hundred and twenty-six. This number will be increased by two hundred and thirty-one if we add the two doubtful pieces. But there remains still another work, the consideration of which has been designedly left to the last. It is the ´Romance of the Rose.´ Obviously, this production stands on an entirely different footing from the others that have been subjected to examination and rejected. In favor of the view that these, or anything like them, were the composition of Chaucer, there has never been any direct evidence what ever. They were attributed to him, and printed among his works by his editors in the sixteenth century. But for so doing they gave no reason then, and none can be discovered now.
