❖ Geoffrey Chaucer The Canterbury Tales
❖ 内容简介
❖ The procession that crosses Chaucer's pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry.The Knight,the Miller,the Friar,the Squire,the Prioress,the Wife of Bath,and others who make up the cast of characters-including Chaucer himself-are real people,with human emotions and weaknesses.When it is remebered that Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was the standard literary language across western Europe,the magnitude of his achievement is even more remarkable.But Chaucer's genius needs no historical introduction;it bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales.
❖ 乔叟的时代正处在英国从封建社会向资本主义 社会转型的过程中,他的人生和他的诗歌都折 射出那个时代的风云变幻。乔叟在诗作中一改 歌颂赞美神明和君主的传统,大胆将眼光瞄向 社会的各个阶层,在他犀利而不失优雅的笔下, 14世纪英国社会百态具现,特别是新兴市民阶 级那种充满生气的形象与心声跃然纸上,从而 创作出雅俗共赏、充满人性化的文学形象,乔 叟也成为引领文艺复兴(renaissance )文坛的 时尚先驱(forerunner),
• Ful wel she sange the service devine, Entuned in hire nose ful swetely; And Frenche she spake ful fayre and fetisly, After the scole of Stratford atte bowe, For Frenche of Paris was to hire unknowe.
❖ 诗人影响
乔叟那个时代还没有印刷的书籍问世,英国各地之间又 很少接触,因此各地区所说的英语之间差别颇大。再者, 当时宫廷语言是法语,学术语言是拉丁语。乔叟是第一 位使用英语创作的宫廷作家。他居住在伦敦,使用的自 然是英国中部各郡的英语,而不是英国北部或南部方言。 他的作品对现代英语的形成做出了巨大贡献。

Brief introduction of Chaucer
❖ Geoffrey Chaucer,considered by many to be both the father of modern English poetry and the father of the modern English novel ,also distinguished himself in his lifetime as a civil servant and diplomat under three kings of England.When he was taken prisoner by the French,the King himself contributed to his ransom(赎 金).When,in later years,the King wished to reward Chaucer for his services to the crown,he was granted-among other favorsthe right to demand a daily jug of wine from the pantry of the royal butler.Toward the end of his career,he became a knight of the shire for Kent(骑士肯特).
❖ 创作生涯 乔叟的诗歌创作分为三个时期:
①法国影响时期(1359~1372):主要翻译并仿效法国 诗人的作品,创作了《公爵夫人之书》(Book of the Duchess) ,用伦敦方言翻译了法国中世纪长篇叙事诗 《玫瑰传奇》(Rose Legend)等。
②意大利影响时期(1372~1386):诗人接触了资产阶 级(Bourgeoisie )人文主义的进步思想。这一时期的创 作如《百鸟会议》(The Parliament of Fowles)、 《特洛伊罗 斯与克丽西达》(Troilus and Criseyde) 、 《贤妇传说》 ( The Legend of Good Women) ,反映了作者面向生活现实 的创作态度和人文主义观点。

❖ Chaucer's time is during the reforming process of Britain from the feudal society to the capitalist society, his life and his poetry reflect constantly changing of that time. As soon as Chaucer changes the tradition of the style in the poetic composition to praise the gods and crowned head, looks boldly at the judgment to society's each social stratum, sharp does not lose the graceful writing in him, the 14th century Britain society hundred condition presently, specially emerging residential social class that kind of spry image and the aspiration appears gloriously on the paper, thus created appeals to both cultured and popular tastes, the human nature literary figure, Chaucer also became the fashionable pioneer who eagerly anticipated the Renaissance literary arena,
