In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook.
作者簡介
Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1343-1400) was an English author, poet, philosopher, bureaucrat courtier and diplomat. Sometimes called the father of English literature, Chaucer is credited by some scholars as being the first author to demonstrate the artistic legitimacy of the vernacular English language, rather than French or Latin. He wrote many works but is best know for The Canterbury Tales.
傑弗雷·喬叟(GeoffreyChaucerl340—1400)是中世紀英國的一位最傑齣的詩人。他在英國文學史上的地位則相當於但丁在意大利文學史上的地位。自從一。六六年諾曼人徵服英國以後,英國存在著用三種語言創作的文學:僧院文學使用拉丁文;騎士詩歌多用法語;民間歌謠則用英語。喬叟是第一個奠定英國新的文學語言的始祖,所以通常被稱為“英國詩歌之父”。他是後來十五世紀末葉直到十七世紀四十年代以莎士比亞為代錶的英國文藝復興的奠基人,也是英國詩歌從民間歌謠進一步發展的創始者。
精彩書評
'Written in a lucid and elegant style, Wetherbee's book has lost nothing of its worth during the fifteen years that have elapsed since it was first published. It provides a useful and thought-provoking commentary to the Tales not only for university students or general readers but also for specialists.' --Anglia
