Excerpt from The Knight's Tale, or Palamon and Arcite Chaucer. - Amongst the rather numerous English poets who wrote in times preceding the sixteenth century, the chief name is that of Geoffrey Chaucer. Indeed, not a few of our oldest poems were written by anonymous authors, or by authors of whom we know little beyond the mere name. Fortunately, owing to his connexion with the court and with official duties, the chief events in Chaucer's life are tolerably well ascertained; and a good account of him is readily accessible in all the more recent books that treat of English literature. It is necessary to consult recent accounts, because the older ones contain numerous state ments founded upon guesswork, which later researches have shown to be misleading and erroneous.

Excerpt from The Prologue and the Knight's Tale Portions of the introduction have been written with a view to the teacher rather than the pupil, my aim being to give in a concise form the materials which the teacher requires to have at his disposal if the taught are to obtain an adequate conception of Chaucer's importance in the history of English literature and language. It is impossible to acknowledge in detail all the instances in which this edition is based upon the work of predecessors, though I have attempted to do so to the best of my ability. A short bibliography containing a list of authorities consulted - or to be consulted - has been appended. Yet, while drawing attention to my indebted ness to others, I may be permitted to express the hope that amongst much that is old, there may be found something that is new.

Excerpt from Originals and Analogues of Some of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales Mr. Clouston has also been good enough to revise Mr. Lv. M. Wood's Index to this volume, and to draw up the Contents, adding a List of the Tales illustrated by analogs, variants, &c. This was necessary, because the latter were printed as they came to hand. I never thought of waiting to get everything available for any Tale before anything about it was put forth. I still hope to arrange with Mr. Hy. Ward and some second Editor for the issue of the original of the Knight's Tale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from King Arthur's Knights: The Tales Re-Told for Boys Girls Although, therefore, these stories of King Arthur and his men treat of knights and their ladies, of magical trolls and wonder-working wizards, and it might seem for that reason that they can have little or nothing in common with life of the present day, it will be seen that the spirit in which they are told conveys something which every boy can learn. Indeed, the great and simple lesson of chivalry which the tales of King Arthur teach is, in a few words, to merit the fine old name of gentleman.'

Excerpt from The Knights of the Round Table: Stories of King Arthur and the Holy Grail Some time you may read these tales and others as they wrote them, and you cannot read them without thinking what a great and mar vellons thing it was that they, who lived no longer than other men, could give delight to the people of so many centuries. But some of these stories are not easy to find, and some are not easy to read, when you have found them. I have tried to tell a few of them again in my own way, hoping that thus some might have the stories and know them, for whom the Older books might be hard to get or hard to under stand.

'Among the heaps of dead they found by chance two young knights, both pierced with many grievous wounds. They both wore the same coat of arms, richly embroidered: one was a knight called Palamon, the other Arcite. They were neither dead nor alive, but the heralds knew by their coat-armours that they were of the royal blood of Thebes, born of two sisters.'The first and grandest of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, The Knight's Tale is an epic story of love and war, shot through with a compelling dark thread.Simon Webb's prose translation brings out all the richness of the original, and his informative introduction sets the Tale in its legendary and historical context.
