Paperback. Condition: Good. 'Nevill Coghill's easy, seductive translation ensures that this, the most popular work in English Literature - now 600 years old - will run through yet more centuries' Melvyn Bragg In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature. A storytelling competition within a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook. This masterly and vivid modern English verse translation retains all the vigour and poetry of Chaucer's fourteenth-century Middle English. Translated by NEVILL COGHILL.

Decorative Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Book Club Associated Edition. Hardcover. The Canterbury Tales. An Illustrated Edition. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. Foreword by Melvyn Bragg. Introduction by John Swain. In this new edition the text immeasurably enriched by the superb illustrations, which set the Tales in their late medieval context. Chaucer expected his readers to be familiar with a whole range of images, ideas and codes of behaviour, from the wheel of fortune and the gods of pagan mythology to the elaborate rituals dictated by the cult of courtly love and chivalry. His stories are full of allusions and symbols and for this reason it is possible to illustrate them from a variety of historical sources, and for the captions that accompany them to shed further light onm the text. The result is a magnificent new edition, both sumptous and scholarly. Illustrated. 288 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
