Canterbury Tales - Geoffrey Chaucer (Hardcover)
Tax included.
The Canterbury Tales is an enduringly fascinating work - both an enjoyable romp through the lives of a cast of engaging characters and a window on the world of everyday life in 14th-century England. Its allegorical depths reward repeated reading.
In this edition, the stories are presented in a modern English verse translation by Frank Ernest Hill which succeeds in retaining the charm of the original while ensuring the text is accessible to a general readership. This text is accompanied by lavish illustrations by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, originally produced for the Kelmscott Chaucer in 1896.
