Geoffrey Chaucer; J. U. Nicholson Canterbury Tales in Modern English, Illustrated by Rockwell Kent
Doubleday 1960-06 0385000286 / 9780385000284 Hardcover Used: Very Good Very Good Hardcover
VG/VG. Jacket has minor wear to edges, green cloth boards have minimal wear, binding tight, pages unmarked. Here at last J. U. Nicolson has give us a new version faithful to the original, retaining all its lusty flavor, but rendering it in the modern idiom. An accurate and exact translation, it is at the same time a model of fluent reading. Rockwell Kent has done the illustrations - twenty five full pages as well as numerous decorations and end sheets. They are the illustrations made for the original fifty-dollar limited edition, and so perfectly has he caught the spirit of Chaucer, that his brilliant drawings not only delight the artistic sense of the reader, but help to amplify and clarify the Tales themselves.
