Folio pages 327 x 212 mm collating: 23 376 14 ff. Lacking the first blank A1 and the progenie of Chaucer plate. Textually complete including the final errata leaf. Bound by Seton & Mackenzie of Edinburgh in nineteenth century half vellum over marbled boards with elaborate gilt spine. Dampstain to corner of upper board. Edges stained red. Tear through most of leaf C3 touching text but not affecting legibility. A handsome Near Fine copy remarkably fresh and clean throughout. <br /> <br /> "This edition was considerably revised mainly with the aid of Francis Thynne. It is the earliest in which thorough punctuation was attempted and in many other ways it is a distinct improvement upon Speght's first edition" of 1598 Pforzheimer. A sumptuous collection of literature from one of England's greatest early masters. Geoffrey Chaucer is credited with setting the style of Middle English literature. He is often considered England's first "poet laureate" - after he received a reward from Richard II for one of his poems. Although Chaucer is famous chiefly for his medieval-era masterpiece The Canterbury Tales his works are also thought to have helped popularize English as a literary language. While famous in their own right Chaucer's works have also influenced just about every major luminary of English literature to come after him.<br /> <br /> Grolier 43. ESTC S107210. Pforzheimer 177.

CHAUCER, Geoffrey [c1343-1400]
The Workes…
<p>London: Printed by Adam Islip for Thomas Wight 1598. Sixth Edition the first to be edited by Thomas Speght; issue with Wight imprint. This edition contains the first portrait of Chaucer the first life of Chaucer printed in English albeit largely fictitious some previously unpublished material Chaucer’s English translation of Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy and several works incorrectly attributed to Chaucer. "Chaucer is the first great figure of modern English literature the first great humorist of modern Europe and the first great writer in whom the dramatic spirit so long vanished and seemingly extinct re-appears. Except Dante there is no poet of the middle ages of superior faculty and distinction." DNB Among his many works which include The Book of the Duchess the House of Fame the Legend of Good Women and Troilus and Criseyde he is best known today for The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer championed the use of the vernacular Middle English at a time when the dominant literary languages in England were French and Latin. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries he was printed more than any other English author and he was the first English author to have his works printed in single-volume collected editions.

CHAUCER, GEOFFREY [URRY, JOHN (ED)]
The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer
London: Bernard Lintot 1721. First edition. Contemporary speckled calf. Very Good. LANDMARK EARLY MODERN EDITION OF CHAUCER'S WORKS. The Canterbury Tales the most culturally productive of Chaucer's works has existed in a state of flux since its earliest manuscript traces. No manuscript surviving from the Middle Ages contains all of the known tales and in exemplars which do witness the same episodes the sequence often varies-in addition to containing more commonplace textual variations in language and presentation. Thus the task of compiling Chaucer's works for print publication with an increased need for standardisation and an expectation of mass circulation gives rise to manifold editorial considerations and yields no unprecarious route towards the modern ambition for a definitive volume. These complexities result in a rich and storied editorial history of Chaucer's works from the fourteenth century to the present day.<br /> <br /> John Urry was one of those who undertook the herculean task of editing Chaucer. By the eighteenth century once a medieval text had been set in print the need to return to manuscript sources was often felt with less imperative. Such was the case with Chaucer and in post-Reformation Britain an "obvious interest in Chaucer coupled with wide misinformation about his life" contributed to need for substantive critical intervention Shugrue p. 229. Indeed Urry's 1721 edition presented here is primarily noteworthy for being the first new edition of Chaucer's works in over a century to examine Chaucer from the early source texts. "His is the first edition of Chaucer for nearly a hundred and fifty years to consult any manuscripts and is the first since that of William Thynne in 1534 to seek systematically to assemble a substantial number of manuscripts to establish his text"writes British historian E.I. Carlyle noting Urry's is "also the first edition to offer descriptions of the manuscripts of Chaucer's works" DNB. Published in 1721-having been completed posthumously by fellow members of Christ Church Oxford Thomas Ainsworth and Timothy and William Thomas following Urry's death in 1715-it is also the first edition of Chaucer to printed in Latin type.<br /> <br /> While the return to manuscript sources demonstrates an admirable dedication to the task of the editor Urry's endeavour resulted in a unique compilation of Chaucer's works in particular while also including canonical works such as the The Parliament of Fowls and The Romance of the Rose. One of Urry's sources was the late fifteenth-century Northumberland MS 455 the only extant manuscript that contains "The Tale of Beryn". Across the fifteenth century Chaucerians around Great Britain furnished texts which emulated the works which today are firmly ascribed to Chaucer namely The Canterbury Tales whose episodic structure lends itself to modes of extra-authorial continuation and expansion. So though "The Tale of Beryn" as well as another romance included by Urry "The Tale of Gamelyn" are today placed outside of the accepted canon they are important literary works that inform our understanding of Chaucer's immediate reception context and which continue to receive scholarly attention and editorial treatment. Urry's inclusion of "The Merchant's Second Tale or the History of Beryn" and "The Coke's Tale of Gamelyn" thus constitutes the tales' editiones principes and is a benchmark in the history of how Chaucer has been received by modern audiences.<br /> <br /> Standing at over fifteen inches with richly detailed illustrations of each pilgrim of The Canterbury Tales on horseback and portraits of Chaucer and Urry the present copy would have been a deluxe publication upon its initial release in the first half of the eighteenth century-and still is regarded as one the most exquisite editions of Chaucer.<br /> <br /> CHAUCER GEOFFREY; URRY JOHN ED. The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer. London: Bernard Lintot 1721. First edition. Tall folio 245 x 396 mm lii 626 81 1 pages; engraved plates and decorations include full-page portraits Urry and Chaucer. 20th-century full speckled calf in period style raised bands red leather spine label.
