Geoffrey Chaucer
The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer and Others: Being a Reproduction in Facsimile of the First Collected Edition 1532 From the Copy in the British Museum With an Introduction By Walter W. Skeat Lirr.D.F.B.A Hardcover
2017. Hardcover. New. ABOUT THE BOOK: Chaucer's works are grouped into first a French period then an Italian period and finally an English period with Chaucer being influenced by those countries' literatures in turn. Certainly Troilus and Criseyde is a middle period work with its reliance on the forms of Italian poetry little known in England at the time but to which Chaucer was probably exposed during his frequent trips abroad on court business. However it is �The Canterbury Tales� where in he focuses on English subjects with bawdy jokes and respected figures after being undercut with humour that has cemented his reputation. One other significant work of Chaucer's is his �Treatise on the Astrolable� possibly for his own son the first technical example of technical writing in the English Language. Another scientific work discovered in 1952 �Equatorie of the Planetis� has similar language and handwriting compared to some considered to be Chaucer. The large number of surviving manuscripts of Chaucer's works is testimony to the enduring interest in his poetry prior to the arrival of the printing press. There are 83 surviving manuscripts of the �Canterbury Tales alone. John Urry produced the first edition of the complete works of Chaucer in a Latin font published in 1721. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Geoffrey Chaucer 13431400 often referred to as the father of English poetry. He was a philosopher alchemist astrologer bureaucrat diplomat and author of many significant poems. His writing was influential in English literary tradition as it introduced new rhyming schemes and helped develop the vernacular tradition the use of everyday English rather than the literary French and Latin which were common in written works of the time. Chaucer's best known and most imitated works include �The Canterbury Tales�; Troilus and Criseyde; The Book of the Duches; and the House of Fame. In the 16th and 17th centuries Chaucer's work was printed more than any other English author and he was the first author to have his works collected in comprehensive single volume editions in which a Chaucer canon began to cohere. The Title 'The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer and Others: Being a Reproduction in Facsimile of the First Collected Edition 1532 From the Copy in the British Museum With an Introduction By Walter W.

Geoffrey Chaucer
Troilus & Criseyde. Geoffrey Chaucer.
<p>In a fitted box. Green leatherette spine with gilt title. Green and brown patterned boards.</p><p>Troilus and Criseyde is a poem by Geoffrey Chaucer which re-tells in Middle English the tragic story of the lovers Troilus and Criseyde set against a backdrop of war during the Siege of Troy. It was composed using rime royale and was written between 1381 and 1386. Many Chaucer scholars regard it as the poet's finest work. As a finished long poem it is more self-contained than the better known but ultimately uncompleted Canterbury Tales. This poem is often considered the source of the phrase: "all good things must come to an end." While the original text was by Chaucer it has here been translated and introduced by Stewart Boston.</p><p>Chaucer's handling of the traditional tale of Troilus noble warrior at the Seige of Troy and his beautiful but faithless wife Criseyde shows one of our greatest English Poets at the height of his powers. While his other masterpiece The Canterbury Tales remained unfinished Troilus and Criseyde is an intricately crafted whole tracing in its five books the hero's progress from an unrequited passion for Criseyde to its blissful consumation and a tragic conclusion.</p><p>By presenting the translation side by side with Chaucer's original and supplying any necessary notes hoping to overcome any language problems making this wonderful poem available in all its richness to modern readers. This superb edition is illustrated in full colour by Peter Brookes.</p><p><strong><em>Troilus and Criseyde</em></strong> is an epic poem by Geoffrey Chaucer which re-tells in Middle English the tragic story of the lovers Troilus and Criseyde set against a backdrop of war during the siege of Troy. It was written in <em>rime royale</em> and probably completed during the mid-1380s. Many Chaucer scholars regard it as the poet's finest work. As a finished long poem it is more self-contained than the better known but ultimately unfinished <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>. This poem is often considered the source of the phrase: "all good things must come to an end" 3.615.</p><p>Although Troilus is a character from Ancient Greek literature the expanded story of him as a lover was of Medieval origin. The first known version is from Benoît de Sainte-Maure's poem <em>Roman de Troie</em> but Chaucer's principal source appears to have been Boccaccio who re-wrote the tale in his <em>Il Filostrato</em>. Chaucer attributes the story to a "Lollius" whom he also mentions in <em>The House of Fame</em> although no writer with this name is known. Chaucer's version can be said to reflect a less cynical and less misogynistic world-view than Boccaccio's casting Criseyde as fearful and sincere rather than simply fickle and having been led astray by the eloquent and perfidious Pandarus. It also inflects the sorrow of the story with humour.</p><p>The poem had an important legacy for later writers. Robert Henryson's Scots poem <em>The Testament of Cresseid</em> imagined a rambunctious fate for Criseyde not given by Chaucer. In historical editions of the English <em>Troilus and Criseyde</em> Henryson's distinct and separate work was sometimes included without accreditation as an "epilogue" to Chaucer's tale. Other texts for example John Metham's <em>Amoryus and Cleopes</em> c. 1449 adapt language and authorship strategies from the famous predecessor poem. Shakespeare's tragedy <em>Troilus and Cressida</em> although much darker in tone was also based in part on the material.</p><p><em>Troilus and Criseyde</em> is usually considered to be a courtly romance although the generic classification is an area of significant debate in most Middle English literature. It is part of the Matter of Rome cycle a fact which Chaucer emphasizes.</p> The Folio Society. hardcover
