Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories in Verse AS this book, in issuing from the house of Messrs. Routledge, acquires a special chance of coming under the cognizance of travellers by the railway, I' have pleased myself with fancying, that it gives me a kind of new link, however remote like the rest, with my great master in the art of poetry 5 that is to say, with the great master of English narrative in verse, the Father of our Poetry itself, Chaucer. Nay, it gives me two links, one general, and one particular for as Chaucer's stories, in default of there being any printed books and travelling carriages in those days, were related by travellers to one another.
