Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the outcome of a thorough examination into the received chronology of all Chaucer's works, with a view to ascertaining how much of it is sound. There appeared on examination so many unworked corners, so much unused evidence, and so many, what seemed to the writer, vulgar and common errors, that weighing and expounding of old material had to give large place to destruction and construction. The work expanded so much that it became necessary to disregard most of the minor poems, and to discuss only those works a decision as to which was necessary to other decisions, and those on which the prevalent opinion seemed most erroneous or on which the most new light could be thrown. So the book does not profess to be exhaustive, or to afford anything except the essential elements of general scheme. But neither has its purpose been merely to give the results of wholly original research rather by all means available, and to the extent of the writer's ability, to ascertain, advance, and present the status quo of our reliable knowledge as to when and how Chaucer's principal works came to be written. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
