Age of Chaucer

  Age of Chaucer: IGNOU MEG - Block 1: unit 1-4:          Chaucer Topics cover ed - Chaucer's time Background Names and Titles Writing Period The poetry of Chaucer and his contemporaries is best understood in the context of the transition in European society from declining feudalism to an emerging money control characterized by the rise of the middle classes. Because of the lucrative wool trade, agricultural land was being converted at many p1ace into pasture for rearing sheep. This required fewer farm-hands, giving rise to a gradual exodus of labor from country to town, from farming to the craft-guilds. Of course, such processes of social transformation do not take place abruptly: in the reign of Henry VIII, Thomas More continues to attack the 'enclosure' system, that is, the conversion of arable land into pasture.  Age of Chaucer 14th century: 1-    100 years war 1337-1453 in France and England (116 yrs)        War with France and Scotland brought honor to the English mo

Epithalamion and Prothalamion Summary & Analysis plus Notes

  IGNOU MEG-1 Block 2 Unit 11: IGNOU MEG-1 Block-2 Undertaking A Study of Spenser Unit 11: Epithalamion and Prothalamion Nuptial songs Both the wedding poems deal with the celebration of marriage The term literally means 'at the bridal chamber', and earlier referred to the song sung in celebration of the bride's wedding night, literally at her bridal chamber. 'Prothalamion' is a term invented by Spenser, in order to differentiate his poem by that name from his own and earlier written bridal song, but the meaning remains essentially unchanged, with the prefix 'pro-' (or prior to) standing in for 'epi-' (or outside of). Written in 1594. Differences: While Spenser's own epithalamion carries elements of this eroticism, the Prothalamion is a qualitatively different poem, almost completely devoid of eroticism, and in fact, actually, little more than a thinly disguised complaint poem significant and far-reaching differences in treatment, style and inten
