Fables From Boccaccio And Chaucer is a book written by John Dryden, a renowned English poet, literary critic, and playwright. The book is a collection of fables from two of the most celebrated writers of the medieval period, Giovanni Boccaccio and Geoffrey Chaucer. The fables are written in verse and are based on moral lessons, often featuring animals as the main characters. Dryden has adapted and modernized the fables to make them more accessible to contemporary readers. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing fables from Boccaccio's Decameron and the second part containing fables from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Dryden's style of writing is characterized by his use of heroic couplets, which are pairs of rhyming lines in iambic pentameter. Overall, Fables From Boccaccio And Chaucer is a classic work of literature that showcases the timeless appeal of fables and the skill of two of the greatest writers of the medieval period. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of literature and the moral lessons that fables can teach us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
