Chaucer and His Times

(a) it is slurred over before a word beginning with a vowel, e.g. I nold setteat al that noysea grote; before certain words beginning with h, such as he; any part of the verb to have; the adverbs heer, how, and a mute h as in honoure.g. Tho reddehe me how Sampson lostehis heres: These notes are based on the grammatical hints given in Professor Skeats Introduction to his single-volume edition of Chaucers complete works (Clarendon Press, 1901), from which the illustrations in this book are also drawn. To his researches and to those of Professors Lounsbury and Ten Brink, and of the members of the Chaucer Society, all students of Chaucer must gratefully acknowledge their indebtedness. In quoting from Chaucer I have kept to Professor Skeats spelling. All attempts to modernise Chaucerian verse inevitably result in destroying something of the charm and melody of the original. Readers whose eyes are not accustomed to the forms of Middle English will find practically all difficulty disappear if they read the passages aloud with modern pronunciation. With other Middle English and Scottish poets I have reluctantly taken greater liberties, since their language is often more remote from the speech of to-day. An example of the original Scottish forms will be found on p. 240. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
