1880 Geoffrey CHAUCER Poems
Canterbury Tales Assembly of Foules Aldine Poets 6v
“If gold rusts, what then can iron do?”
― Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury
Tales
‘The Canterbury
Tales’ is one of the most
famous pieces of early English literature, written during the end of the 14th-century.
Written by Geoffrey Chaucer, this book is a collection of short stories told
from the perspective of traveling pilgrims on their way to Canterbury from
London. Chaucer paints an accurate portrayal of English society during the
time, as well as customs and social practices.
This late 19th-century printing of the
poems of Chaucer includes, of course, ‘Canterbury
Tales’, but also features works such as ‘Cuckow and Nightgale’, ‘Assembly
of Foules’, and other lesser-known poems. This set from the ‘Aldine Edition
of the British Poets’ was collected and edited by Richard Morris, supplemented
with a memoir by Harris Nicolas.
