THE GEOFFREY CHAUCER PAGE John Lydgate, 1370-1449 The illustration is from the Sege of Thebes ; it shows Lydgate, arm extended, telling his tale on the return journey from Canterbury to London, described in the Prologue to his Sege of Thebes John Lydgate, Chaucer's most prolific admirer, was born in Suffolk in 1370 in the village of Lydgate near the abbey of Bury St. Edmund's, which he entered as a postulate when he was about fifteen years old. He remained a monk the rest of his life, though he travelled outside his cloister (to Paris at least once, in 1426), and his patrons were powerful aristocrats and courtiers. Over 100,000 lines of his verse survive, much of it in enormous works of translation The Troy Book (over 30,000 lines) [Widener 11473.97], The Pilgrimage of the Life of Man (24,000 lines) [Widener 11473.77], and The Fall of Princes (26,000 lines) [Widener 11473,121]. These were all written to order, for powerful patrons. Lydgate did better when he was writing for himself, as seems to have been the case in his many short poems [see The Minor Poems Widener 11473.107], and perhaps even

Michael Ullyot Troy Project Bibliography Introduction ... Michael Ullyot John Lydgate's Troy Book and the Deviation from Tradition John Lydgate's preface is rather explicit. In the year 1412, on the last day of October (a Monday) at four o'clock in the afternoon, the monk from Bury St. Edmund received his commission from King Henry V to compose a poem of the subject of Troy. Five years after Henry's victory at the battle of Agincourt in 1415, Lydgate presented him with the completed work: a monumental, 30,000-line poem narrating, in five books, the story of Troy from before the Greeks' capture of Hesione (the impetus for Trojan retaliation with Helen) to the seafarings of various Greek generals and Trojan expatriats after the fall of the city. The king's response is not documented. Lydgate's Troy Book was partially based on Guido delle Colonne 's Historia Troiana (1287), whose Latin prose narrative had also influenced Lydgate's mentor, Geoffrey Chaucer. In what may have been an attempt to deviate from Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde (c.1386), or out of respect for

Return to Menu of TEAMS Texts JOHN LYDGATE'S PROLOGUE TO THE SIEGE OF THEBES : INTRODUCTION John Lydgate's Prologue to the Siege of Thebes Edited by John M. Bowers Originally Published in The Canterbury Tales: Fifteenth-Century Continuations and Additions Kalamazoo, Michigan: Western Michigan University for TEAMS, 1992 INTRODUCTION John Lydgate was born c. 1370 when Chaucer was completing The Book of the Duchess ; he was admitted to the monastery at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, in 1385 when Chaucer was finishing Troilus and Criseyde ; and he was ordained a priest in 1397 when Chaucer was in the final phase of The Canterbury Tales . Probably while studying at Oxford in the late 1390s, he made contact with Thomas Chaucer, who resided at Ewelme in the neighboring Oxfordshire countryside (Schirmer 59-65). The conjunction of these two rising stars, the one with political ambitions and the other with poetic aspirations, led to a great outpouring of Chaucerian versifications spanning the entire first half of the fifteenth century, until Lydgate's death c. 1450 (Pearsall 1970, 49-82). The Siege of Thebes falls about midway in Lydgate's career. An allusion near the end of the poem to the Treaty of Troyes means it was concluded after May 1420; its general address to Henry V indicates it was completed before the monarch's premature death in August 1422. The Prologue's portrayal of Lydgate as a monk adhering to the strict regulations of his order seems to be a direct, almost point-by-point reply to the king's formal list of complaints against laxness among the Benedictines, leading to a special convocation of Black Monks at Westminster in May 1421 (Pantin 98-134). It is possible that Lydgate wrote the
