2 Vulgarity is about sociology. The word vulgar means common, in the sense of low. Saxon words meanings do not offend, but using Saxon at all seemed/seems low. Profanity is about ontology. Using the Lord s name in vain is offensive not because God is His name, but because calling on His Might when someone cuts in front of you at Taco Bell trivializes The Divine.
3 Periods of English Language, Literature Old English (OE):???? 1066 o Sometimes called Anglo-Saxon Example: Beowulf Medieval ( Middle ) English (ME): s o Development from Hastings to Spenser, etc. Example: Geoffrey Chaucer Modern English: 1500s today o Doesn t mean just like now! Examples: Shakespeare up to now Geoffrey Chaucer ( ) is from what is called the medieval era. He writes in what is called Middle English.
4 Now, about that. Middle English started in 1066, when William of Normandy defeated Harold of Wessex at the Battle of Hastings to become King of England. This set up that untenable situation we discussed: as of Christmas Day, 1066, Brits spoke three different languages: o The Nobility (William s buddies) spoke French, and held all positions of political and economic power. Not surprisingly, they enjoyed romantic stories of questing knights, fierce dragons, and fair damsels to be rescued (or seduced). o Commoners (Harold s surviving buddies) spoke Saxon, and had little power or wealth. Not surprisingly, they enjoyed dirty stories about clever peasants outsmarting rich folk and churchmen to steal their money, women and pride. o The Church and scholars continued to use Latin for religious, scientific, and philosophical writing. Not surprisingly, their stories were mostly sermons, meditations on the Gospel truths and saints lives. The classes stayed largely separate in language, customs and storytelling traditions except in a few power centers, like London, where some hybriding began to happen. In 1343, Geoffrey Chaucer was born in London.
5 Geoffrey Chaucer ( ) wrote tons of stuff, both sacred and profane. His most famous work, The Canterbury Tales, concerns thirty very different people sacred & profane, rich & poor, lovely & ugly, wise & ignorant, young & old, male & female all travelling together on a pilgrimage (journey of religious devotion) from London to Canterbury a long trip, so they tell tales to each other to pass the time. By combining the different stories, accents, vocabularies, and beliefs of all classes of Brits nobility, church, and commoners Chaucer more or less created a new language for English poetry. He is therefore called The Father of English Poetry. Let s discover how that looked and sounded.
