Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Geoffrey Chaucer was born circa 1340 into a world that was very different from our modern world. Chaucer, working in the Chancery and fulfilling his diplomatic duties to the Crown, still found time to compose his immortal poetry. "The Canterbury Tales" will remain forever a magnificent monument to the genius of Geoffrey Chaucer, one of the world's greatest poets. ************************************ From the dust-jacket blurb: "This classic historical survey of Chaucer's life, times and works, first published in 1908, firmly places the poet in his paradoxical age. Paradoxical in that the Middle Ages exhibit both sordid , worldly characteristics, as well as a sublime piety. The configuration of these two extremes, the author argues, produced and nourished Chaucer's genius, and the result is nowhere more evident than in Chaucer's chief work, 'The Canterbury Tales'. This informal historical commentary on Chaucer's works offers a delightful survey of Chaucer's times which will fascinate the student and general reader alike." *************************************** TITLE : Chaucer and His England / AUTHOR : G. G. Coulton (George Gordon Coulton, 1858 - 1947 was a well-respected medieval scholar who wrote many books on the subject) / IMPRINT : Bracken Books (a subsidiary of Studio Editions) / PLACE : London / YEAR : 1993 / EDITION : Reprint - Likely a Book Club Edition (No price on jacket flap) / STATUS : The only publisher listing this book for sale as in print is Routledge, who offers a paperback at $19.95 and a hardcover for nearly $100. / DETAILS : Contains numerous illustrations; contains Prefaces, Footnotes, and an Index ; [xx] + 321 pages; 5 1/8" x 8 3/8"; approximately 5 1/4" x 8 1/4"; dark gray paper-covered boards and spine, with gilt lettering on spine; dark purple end-papers; color pictorial dust-jacket. *************************************** CONDITION -- BOOK : VERY GOOD -- JACKET - VERY GOOD --This is a previously owned book, with owners book plate and signature, with the following particulars noted :: EXTERIOR -- A quarter inch wide strip of fading displays at the foot of both boards and the spine; modest surface rub to front, a small, vague discoloration (possible a light stain) appears near the bottom fore-edge corner - else clean; there is a slight splay - or yawn - to the covers at the fore-edge; text-block edges are darkened, else clean / BINDING -- Tight / INTERIOR -- Minute spots of color loss on the end-papers (likely a production effect); the paper throughout is lightly toned (I cannot decide if this was a production decision, or if the paper has toned over the years); there are no marginalia, notes, underlining or marks through the text.
