Overview

Excerpt from Pearl: An English Poem of the Xivth Century; Edited With Modern Rendering, Together With Boccaccio's Olympia It is indeed rather with the Prologue of 'the Legend of Good Women' than with Chaucer's earlier effort of 'the Book of the Duchess' that the poem of 'pearl' may best be contrasted, though Chaucer's Lament for Blanche the Duchess, as an elegy, invites comparison with 'pearl' as elegy. From this point of view, Chaucer's Lament seems somewhat unreal and conventional; our poem exercises its spell, not merely by its. Artistic beauty, but even more by its simple and direct appeal to what is eternal and elemental in human nature.
