Excerpt from Chaucer and the Seven Deadly Sins Vitry takes his stand upon Proverbs XXII, 6, Train up a child in the way he should go, etc. 23 Much more to our purpose is the close resemblance between many lines of the Physician's Tale and the well-known patristic tracts on Virginity. The moral traits of Virginia - her humil ity, her modesty of bearing and array, her abstinence from wine, her discretion in speech, her avoidance of society, her dislike of feasts and dances - areprecisely those pre scribed to the consecrated maiden in Ambrose's famous treatise, De Virginibus. Ambrose's presentation of the ideal of virginity and of the perils to which the lamb is subjected from wolves (cf. 0. T., C. 102) culminates, as in Chaucer, with a solemn warning to mothers and fathers (iii, vi).25 And the ten-line application at the close of the Tale (c'. 27 7 is the traditional end ing of an ensample of Sin.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

That resistance, informed by a model of literary influence grounded on the idea of interruption, would keep the Canterbury Tales away from the Decameron, though not the rest of Chaucer from other works by Boccaccio. In the end, of course, that resistance tells us more about Chaucer's reception since the fifteenth century than about Chaucer himself or his sources."--BOOK JACKET.
