Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chaucer Canon: With a Discussion of the Works Associated With the Name of Geoffrey Chaucer The subject of the present volume is an examination of the Chaucer Canon. All the pieces that have been at any time associated with his name are here considered; and various tests are given whereby his genuine works can be distinguished from the rest. Much that is here said is necessarily repeated from what I have already advanced in my six-volume edition of Chaucer and in the supplementary volume entitled Chaucerian Pieces; but I have also taken the opportunity, whilst collecting many scattered observations that have been previously made, of introducing a few new suggestions and arguments. In particular, the account here given of the striking parallel between Chaucers grammatical usages and the regular employment of various grammatical suffixes in the unassailable text of the Ormulum is, to the best of my belief, wholly new, and adds much firmness and certainty to the whole argument. It is true that Tyrwhitt (in note 69 to his Essay on Chaucers Language) long ago pointed out the value of the practice of Orm, the most authentic metrical composer that we have in our antient language, but he did not give any detailed account of the conclusions to be drawn from it. The argument which I adduce is briefly this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
