Excerpt from The Poems of Geoffrey Chaucer, Modernized They would have been translated. Hitherto they have had almost everything done for them that a nation could desire, in so far as the most careful collation of texts, the most elaborate essays, the most ample and erudite notes and glossaries, the most elaborate and classical (as well as the most trite and vulgar) para phrases, the most eloquent and sincere admiration and comments of genuine poets, fine prose writers, and scholars - everything, in short, has been done, except to make them intelligible to the general reader.

Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: Now First Put Into Modern English Chaucer's entire poetic works have never before been put into modern English. Parts of them, especially of the Canterbury Tales, have been retold in one place or another in both prose and verse, some of the latter by pens so great as Wordsworth's, Pope's, and Dryden's; but hitherto a more nearly adequate idea of a marvelously individual and many-sided poet could be obtained only through his original text. That such is the best way to obtain it the present editors would be the first to urge. But most readers need not be told that it can be so acquired only by dint of somewhat thorough study; even more thorough than the casual reader can realize, for yet more baffling than frankly obsolete words are the countless words and idioms which have subtly changed their meaning. And undoubtedly such study at first may form a mist between the reader and a sympathetic comprehension of the poet. The melody of his verse, too, which the modernizer is so grieved to disturb, can be heard only by the practised ear. It is believed, therefore, that the present volume will be welcome to a good number of cultivated people everywhere. The editors have striven always to paraphrase as little and to be as faithful to the original as they could; certainly never to misrepresent it. They have departed from it only to save their version from one or another of four possible stumbling-blocks: rhyme and excessive rhythm, obscurity, extreme verbosity, and excessive coarseness. Their rare omission of words or short passages for the last reason has not been indicated; in the still fewer cases where a whole episode is incurably gross or voluptuous (yet Chaucer is never merely vicious), its omission is shown by asterisks. Proper names are almost always given in their true or their familiar modern form. A few short lyrics which otherwise would have lost too much have been versified in the original metrical form.

Excerpt from Chaucer: The Minor Poems Now that the fifth century since the death of Chaucer is almost completed, it seems high time that a serious attempt should be made to present to readers an edition of his Minor Poems in something like a reasonable spelling and with a sufficient quantity of illustration in the form of notes. Mr. Sweet has given us a few extracts from these, in his Second MiddleEnglish Primer, but confesses that he has not attempted to forestall the inevitable German, who, it is to be hoped, will some day give us a critical edition of Chaucer. Though I am perhaps to some extent disqualified, as being merely a native of London, in which city Chaucer himself was born, I hope I may be pardoned the temerity of attempting something in this direction. At the same time, it is only right to say that we owe something to Dr. John Koch, who produced A Critical Edition of some of Chaucers Minor Poems, published at Berlin in 1883. The only fault of this edition is that it contains so very little; the number of short poems in it is only ten, extending in all to 483 lines. It does not seem to be at all well known in England, and perhaps I should never have heard of it, but for the kindness of Dr. Koch himself, to whom I beg leave to return my best thanks, at the same, time acknowledging my indebtedness to his researches. The present edition is of a fuller character, as it includes all of Chaucers genuine poetical works with the exception of the three of most importance, that is to say, the Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Cressida, and the Legend of Good Women. Just half an hour after writing the above sentences I received from Dr. Willert his edition of The House of Fame, too late, unfortunately, to be of much assistance to me. See further below, with respect to that poem. The first question that arises is, naturally, which of the Minor Poems are genuine? The list here given partly coincides with that adopted by Dr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
