Preface THE barrier of obsolete speech is the occasion and the apology for this rendering of the Canterbury Tales in English easily intelligible to-day. Whether this barrier be real, or but generally assumed, matters little, for the assumption itself is obstructive and tends equally to the resultant fact, that in spite of the immensely widened interest inC haucer and the diffused knowledge of his works due to labours of profound scholarship in the last fifty years a very large proportion of the educated public still receives its impressions of the poet at second hand, from literary hearsay, or the epitomising essays of critics. To present, therefore, a representative portion of Chaucer sunfinished masterpiece in such form as shall best preserve for a modern reader the substance and style of the original, is the chief aim of this book. When the publishers asked me to carry out this object, the nature of the appropriate form presented itself for solution. As modernisation, the undertaking is not new. At various epochs, and with varying scope of design, poets such as Dryden, Pope, Leigh Hunt, Elizabeth Barrett, Wordsworth, have contrived metrical versions of the Canterbury Tales in the literary forms of their own day. Lesser poets and writers of the past two centuries have executed the like. Their versions possess in common the aim of substituting modernE nglish verse for Chaucer s, often as an alleged latterday improvement.

Excerpt from George Washington at the Delaware: A Dramatic ActionMy complete play, Washington, from which this Action is taken, I began to write at Washington, D. C., in December, 1917, and completed at Shirley Centre, Massachusetts, on July 4th, 1918. Though it had long been partially projected in my mind, yet the human meanings illumined by our entrance into the Great War, and the world relationships implied by that vast decision, were compelling incentives for me to undertake and bring the play to completion, setting during that time all other matters aside.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
