Chaucer's Realism in ?The Canterbury Tales?
2008-05-14 16:19:00 Literature is the mirror of its age. Supreme literary artist is one who becomes a mouthpiece and provides a real picture of his age with its minute details. Chaucer is a perfect representative of his age. He is in true sense a social chronicler of England. His poetry reflects the 14th century not in fragment but as a complete whole. Realism of Chaucer in ?The Canterbury Tales? not gives us the impression that whatever has been described is real in the ordinary sense of the word. Realism is not reality; it is a collective term for the devices that give the effect of reality. Chaucer represented life in its nakedness. ?What he has given is a direct transpiration of daily life.? Chaucer's principle object of writing poetry was to portray men and women truthfully without any exaggeration and to present an exact picture of average humanity. He painted life as he saw it, and he saw it with so observant eye that it seems that he was viewing all the events as well as characters throug...
Chaucer's ?The Prologue to the Canterbury Tales?: Art of Characterization
2008-05-13 20:06:00 On the aisle of English poetry, Chaucer flourishes the fantastic colours of his words and paints different characters of his age with minute observation. Indeed, he is a great painter who paints not with colours but with words. Undoubtedly, he has: ?The Seeing Eye, the retentive memory, the judgment to select and the ability to expound.? His keen analysis of the minutest detail of his characters, their dresses, looks and manners enable him to present his characters lifelike and not mere bloodless abstractions.His poetical piece, ?The Prologue to the Canterbury Tales? is a real picture gallery in which thirty portraits are hanging on the wall with all of their details and peculiarities. Rather it is a grand procession with all the life and movement, the colour and sound. Indeed, ?His characters represent English society, morally and socially, in the real and recognizable types?. And still more representative of humanity in general. So, the characters in Chaucer's ?The Prologue?...

Islam: Fabuloso lío organizado por al arzobispo de Canterbury
2008-03-08 23:45:00 Interesante punto de visto sobre la necesidad de incorporar la ley islámica en Europa para fomentar la cohesión social. La polémica es tremenda en Inglaterra. Un fragmento:(...)"Sin embargo, las conclusiones a las que el arzobispo llegó en una entrevista hecha por la BBC eran alarmantes: a saber, que Gran Bretaña tiene que "enfrentarse al hecho" de que algunos ciudadanos no se sienten afines al sistema de justicia británico y que la entrada de la ley islámica (sharia) parece "inevitable". La ley islámica es el sistema de justicia que dirime aspectos sociales y culturales en la vida de los musulmanes. Es a menudo polémica debido a la severidad de sus castigos y a su carencia de derechos para las mujeres. Darle entrada, dijo el arzobispo, podría ayudar a la cohesión social en Gran Bretaña porque los musulmanes podrían elegir, por ejemplo, resolver sus conflictos maritales o financieros usando un tribunal de ley islámica."

Does the Archbishop of Canterbury drive a Civic or Prius hybrid?
2008-02-09 20:56:00 The Archbishop of Canterbury is in the middle of a large controversy because of things he said about Sharia law. This is AutoblogGreen, so we are interested in what he drives. According to the Sun, a "perk" of being the Archbishop of Canterbury is: "chauffeur to appointments in a green Toyota Prius." That may not be correct as the BBC reports the Archbishop, Rowan Williams, drives a Civic hybrid. Virtue Online also says, "Dr Williams practises what he preaches and has already changed his predecessor's car for the environmentally-friendly Honda Civic hybrid, a car similar to the Toyota Prius, the hybrid petrol-electric car used by a number of Government ministers." So, on the list of famous celebrities that drive hybrids, add the head of England's church and the head of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Be sure to put an asterisk noting Civic or Prius hybrid. Below the fold is a Christmas video message from the Archbishop on sustainability.[Source: The Sun, BBC, Virtue Online]

The Tomb of Cardinal Pole in Canterbury Cathedral
2007-08-22 19:53:00 Sebastiano del Piombo,(1485 - 1547), Portrait of Cardinal Reginald Pole, 1540, The Hermitage, Saint Petersburg In his lifetime, he was a highly controversial figure.
