45TH YEAR45HYA OF PUBLICATION OF PULICATON UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA qCROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Volume XLVIII, No. 28 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, MAY 7, 1954 Founded 1908 V Whitesell Guignard Tonight The second Guignard lectu p.m. in the university chapel b3 university English departmen public is invited to attend. T1 Chaucer's continued greatness the public. ! In the first Guignard lecture Tuesday night, Dr. Whitesell em phasized the importance of Geof fery Chaucer, father of English poetry, to his own contemporaries. "Fourteenth century England was much more closely akin to 20th century American than any cen tury since then," Dr. Whitesell said. "Like our own, Chaucer's age was an ebullient one, an age of un rest and uncertainty, but withal an age of optimism and hope. The very foundations of the earth were being shaken: science, religion, economics, the social order, even man's pattern of thinking, were undergoing rigid analysis. But there was a feeling that this un rest would lead to something great and exciting." After tracing the historical background, Dr. Whitesell de scribed Chaucer's technique in por trayal of character through care ful epithets, telling phrases and "candid camera shots." "Chaucer gave to his own and -,cceeding generations a kind of dialogue which is certainly the best in English literature," he said. "As a dramatist he showed his ability to seize upon important and significant details in plot." Chaucer borrowed his plots without apology from many sources, adding conversation and pathos, and emphasizing character. "Among the outstanding assets in Chaucer's ability to create liv ing characters were his keen mind and observant eye. He had always been profoundly concerned with persons in the world about him. . . . It is posterity's good fortune that his lifework threw him into intimate contact with many kinds of men and women." As humorous satirist, Chaucer has no superior in English litera ture, Dr. Whitesell said. The address was illustrated with quotations from Chaucer's works in modern English.
