What reading level is The Poetry of Chaucer; a Guide to Its Study And Appreciation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
15-34- 90 THE POETRY OF CHAUCER he represents himself as 'rubbing and scraping' the manuscripts of Troilus written by the careless scribe to correct their errors and bring them into textual conform- ity with his own 'making.' Nor was he content merely to correct scribal errors. The manuscripts of the poem which have survived to us show that even after its pub- lication Chaucer continued to work over it, rewriting lines, substituting a more felicitous word, changing here and there the order of t...he stanzas. Most significant of these revisions is the addition of three new passages de- signed to heighten the philosophical tone of the poem.
These are Troilus's hymn to love as the perpetual bond of- all things in heaven and earth (3. 1744-1771), which is closely paraphrased from one of the metres of Boe- thius; the long soliloquy of Troilus on the conflict between divine foreknowledge and human freedom (4. 953-1085), which is also adapted from Boethius; and the three stanzas (5. 1807-1827) near the close of the poem, borrowed from Boccaccio's Teseide, which de- scribe the flight to heaven of the soul of Troilus.
