Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canterbury Tales of Chaucer, Vol. 1: With an Essay on His Language and Versification, an Introductory Discourse, Notes, and a Glossary The first object of this publication was to give the text of The Canterbury Tales as correct as the Mss. within the reach of the Editor would enable him to make it. The account of former Editions, in the Appendix to this Preface (A), will shew, that this object had hitherto been either entirely neglected, or at least very imperfectly pursued. The Editor therefore has proceeded as if his author had never been published before. He has formed the text throughout from the Mss. and has paid little regard to the readings of any edition, except the two by Caxton, each of which may now be considered as a Manuscript. A List of the Mss. collated, or consulted, upon this occasion is subjoined (B). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
