The work is considered after Tales of Canterbury (Canterbury Tales), the greatest poet, influenced by Dante, Petrarca and Boccaccio.L'opera has survived thanks to three manuscripts and printer William Caxton English who added the final 12 verses.The work consists of 2158 verses. The metric is varied, using now the yardstick "heroic" consisting of seven verses iambic according to aabbcc scheme, now the heroic couplet. During the seventeenth century John Dryden will consider this as the real yardstick to use in the tragedy.The House of Fame is considered by Chaucer as an allegorical poem in the wake of the Roman de la Rose, work translated by the poet in his youth from French into English, although it has a certain spirit of detachment and a maturing towards an alternative genre. In fact there is an innovative way to address the dialogue and to represent the various characters. The protagonist is the poet stesso.L'opera is divided into three books:
Part I - The poet finds himself in a glass temple on the walls of which are depicted the love stories of famous lovers like Dido and Aeneas. The tone is solemn.
  Book II - The poet is transported by an eagle, reminiscent of Dante's Purgatory, at a time of the House of Fame, resting on a high cliff made of ice. Initially the poet is afraid but is heartened by a sweet and pleasant conversation with the eagle itself. Here the protagonist comes in contact with the vices and men's feelings like jealousy, pain, love, hypocrisy. At this juncture, the author gives an image clumsy and comic of himself as indeed is a recurring theme in his works. The tone here becomes ironic and colloquial. The eagle in particular, is the sophistication and "high literature" made elaborate speeches and a style "tragic", while the poet embodies the crude populate that uses a low language and consistently favoring instead a 'comic style. "
  Book III - The poet comes to the House of Fame where he found a crowd of people divided into nine groups seeking the goddess of fame to receive favors. Some get it while others will receive the exact opposite, that is, the shame and oblivion. Here begins a reflection of the poet, who says he does not seek fame, so is taken to the time of the House of gossip where, for large cavities at ground level, you will hear sounds and chatter of all types that represent the rumors and gossip of men. The poem ends abruptly with the arrival of a man of great authority ( "A man of auctoritee greet ...") in which the hero does not know the name.]]> 2017-03-17 17:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jacopo_servidio69/iyzj7owqw14k/wish/160852494 jacopo_servidio69 https://padlet.com/jacopo_servidio69/iyzj7owqw14k/wish/160857813 The parliament of birds is a poem by Geoffrey Chaucer of about 700 verses.
