Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Paradiso degli A lherti, a work cut of Chaucer sown period, that the Parlement should be regarded as a poetical and highly sophisticated version of the folk-tale. But the curious and interesting features ofT he Contending Lovers will support a self-sufficient study in folk-lore, and such a study is primarily the aim of the following pages. The Parlement will occasionally be admitted to the discussion, especially in conclusion, since relationship to Chaucer necessarily gives the folktale itself an enhanced interest, but only casual arguments will be made for this relationship. The material, now studied in detail, is meant to form its own argument. The similarities between the Parlement and Giovanni da Prato stale of the founding of Prato in II Paradiso degli Alberti have already been sufficiently exploited. Moreover, both Chaucer andO iovanni tell such sophisticated elaborations that a neglect to discuss them systematically in this study of the simpler folk versions does small violence to good order. Publications of theM odem Language A ssociation, ,pp. 495 flf. Much material has become avaU able since Benfey sA usland essay (see note 1) and Wesselofsky snotesi to the tale of the founding of Prato {II Paradiso degli A lberti, Bologna, 1867, i, ii, pp. 238 ff.). Valuable as both works are, no attempt is made by either of these scholars to distinguish or study types, and Benfey confines his study largely to one type. In addition to these two treatments there are convenient collections of notes or scattered presentations of material inC louston, Popular Tales amdF ictions, 1887,i, pp. 277 ff.; DA ncona, Btudj di Critica eS toria Letteraria, Bologna, 1912, revised and enlarged edition, n, pp. 160 ff.; Kdhler, Klevnere Schriften, i, pp. 438ff.; Chauvin, Bibliographic des Ouvrages A rabes, 1892-1909, vi, p. 133, note 3, and vra, p. 76; Basset, Revue desT raditions

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
