Description

Geoffrey Chaucer: The Canterbury Tales. A Selection. Edited and with an Introduction by Donald R. Howard. 'While Geoffrey Chaucer composed several magnificent works of poetry, his reputation as 'the father of English literature' rests mainly on The Canterbury Tales, a group of stories told by an oddly assorted band of pilgrims en route to the shrine of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. From the mirthful and bawdy to the profoundly moral, the tales, taken in their entirety, reflect not only the manners and mores of medieval England, but, indeed, the full comic and tragic dimensions of the human condition. The book has light to medium general wear with creasing of the covers and some staining on the later pages. The biding remain tight and the book most readable.
