About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ... painstaking labors of two English scholars, --Forshall and Madden. Two different texts are printed, the older of 1380, and a later of 1390, revised by Purley. The revision was carefully made, and has a value from showing the marked progress of the language during this short period. The reader, is referred to Marsh's Lectures, Second Series, for a more minute examination of these versions, and the influence and character of Wycliffe.J One or two grammatical changes only will here be noticed. The present participle ending in ende assumed the form of ing, while these versions were in progress, which it has since preserved. The older versions have the old, the later the new, form. The Saxon feminine ending ster, is changed to the Norman esse. In general, with some ex ceptions, the conjugation of the verbs in Wycliffe's translations corresponds very nearly with our own. Aside from the grammatical forms of interest to the scholar in tracing the changes of the language, these versions are interesting as a storehouse of hearty English words, and of the roots of many forms now in use, and as a means ot reviving a. true and vigorous speech. The best representative of the language during the last quarter of the fourteenth century was undoubtedly the poet Chaucer, so deservedly called the'Father of English literature. He was, in the strict sense of the word, a literary man. He had a thorough practical acquaintance with men of all grades, from the highest to the lowest, and had a hearty sympathy, as wide as was his acquaintance. At home and abroad, in the various relations of public and private life, in peace and in war, he had enjoyed opportunities of general culture, such as are the privilege of but few men. Add to this a mind of rare order, a true genius..
