With illustrations by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris in the Arts and Crafts decorative style of floral borders, capital initial letters in facsimile, the text is in a clear layout over two columns. The Canterbury Tales sets the scene perfectly for an enjoyable romp through 14th century England in the company of the bawdy Miller, the scandalous Wife of Bath, the shy Student, and the valiant Knight among the charming characters. This sumptuous edition includes plates from the celebrated Kelmscott Chaucer produced in 1896 by Pre-Raphaelite artists William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, and inspired by the illuminated manuscripts of Chaucer's time. In a clothbound bottle green hardback with bronze foil decoration to the front cover, this is the translation by Frank Ernest Hill, beginning with the General Prologue and ending with a Biography of Geoffrey Chaucer. 383 quality pages, illus, slipcased.
