I. 119 INTKODTJCTION. This elegant translation of the most famous fabulist of modern times (if we may- be allowed to call tbe seventeenth century modern), is the work of an American author, who has admirably succeeded in embodying both the spirit, the grace, and the vivacity of the original in the translation. As Fables have interested and instructed mankind in every age, and as the Fables of La Fontaine may be said to be the standard collection of modern times, this translation has been considered as a most appropriate addition to the Universal Library.

Bent &_ Aldine House Bedford St, London First Published in this Edition 1913 Reprinted 1918, 1919, 1925, ^9^8, 1931, 1936 College Library INTRODUCTION The fame of /Esop, however we look at it, has this advan- tage, that it is thoroug-hly in keeping with his book. There are all the elements of fable in the old story of his life, and the man himself has been made into a folk-tale creature, as if to suit the atmosphere that surrounds "The Lion and the Fox" and "The Frog and the Mouse" in his pages. Sir Roger L'Estrange in the "Life" which opens his fine seventeenth century folio of the Fables, has described the fabulist with lineaments that have become distinct as the crookback of Richard IIL ^sop was a slave, says Sir Roger (following Camerarius), already twice bought and sold when the record opens, and we see him first on the road to Ephesus to be sold a third time. In his person he was "deformed to the highest degree : flat-nosed, hunch-backed, bladder-lipped, baker- legged," with a long, misshapen head, and "his complexion so swarthy that he took his very name from it, for ^sop is the same with Ethiop." In fact the "most scandalous figxire of a man that ever was heard of," and so tongue- tied that people could hardly understand what he said.

  • Story-Lessons from Æsop
    NEW LAMPS FOR OLD Story-Lessons from Æsop BY SAMUEL BIRD, B.A. (la t e assistant m aster AT AYMESTREY COURT, WORCESTER an d st. p e t e r ’s, c h ile ASSISTANT CURATE AT ST. STEPHEN, AUDENSHAW) JAMES CLARKE & CO. LTD. 5 WARDROBE PLACE, LONDON, E.C.4 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY HEADLEY BROTHERS I09 KINGSWAY, LONDON, W.C.2 J AND ASHFORD, KENT TO All those who, according to their oppor­ tunity, suffer little children to come unto Christ Jesus, this little book is respectfully dedicated. FOREWORD F or this selection of fables, at least as old as Æsop, no claim to originality is made. The editor has merely ventured to bring them forth in a new light in the hope that it may help to illumine the modern Children’s Corner, Sunday School, or Home. This is, after all, only the method the Master used to instruct His disciples unto the kingdom of heaven, leading them from their own interests to the things concerning the king­ dom. Perhaps it is not too much to hope that this little book will not only prove attractive to the children themselves, but may be found helpful to every householder who is attempting to lead them from their own interests—of which surely the greatest is Fairy Tales and Fables—to that Kingdom where the childlike are the greatest.

    (J MIDDLE ENGLISH ANIMAL FABLE - A STUDY IN GENRE ROSE-MARIE SILKENS B. A., University of Victoria, 19&9 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard The University of British Columbia May, 197^ In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada [>ate 10 May 197k ABSTRACT This study examines animal fables written in Middle English. While the purposes and methods of these narratives differ widely, an examination of them bears out the thesis that the characterization peculiar to animal fable is the basis of the fulfillment of these several purposes. Middle English animal fables extant range in type from brief Aesopic prose narratives in homilies and treatises to sophisticated narrative poems, and in time from the thirteenth century to the late fifteenth century, although some exempla in homilies are believed to have earlier origins. Many of the brief exempla fables are the work of anonymous compilers, while the poets Chaucer, Langland, Lydgate and Henryson also used the genre, the two latter having written collections.
