‎CHAUCER GEOFFREY; ALLEN MARK EDITOR; FISHER JOHN H. EDITOR‎

‎The Wife Of Bath's Prologue And Tale A Variorum Edition Of The Works Of Geoffrey Chaucer The Canterbury Tales Volume II Parts 5a And 5b‎

‎University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. 2 Volumes. The Wife of Bath is the most vibrant character in The Canterbury Tales�and arguably the most famous. In creating his brilliant portrayal of the talkative wife Chaucer weaves a dazzling array of allusions to biblical classical patristic and vernacular sources. These two volumes�the most recent contribution to the Variorum Chaucer series�integrate six hundred years of scholarship on The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale. Editors Mark Allen and John H. Fisher present a comprehensive record of the textual traditions of the tale and of the critical commentary from the earliest manuscripts to the mid-1990s. Part A the first volume includes the text of Chaucer's poem accompanied by exhaustive collation of the ten most valuable manuscript witnesses to the text and all twenty-two of the major editions. Also included in Part A are an introduction to the text and extensive discussions of sources and analogues genres theoretical approaches and major themes. A bibliographical index concludes the scholarly apparatus in Part A. In Part B the second volume the editors present a line-by-line often word-by-word record of the legacy of Chaucer's text including variants glosses editors' notes and observations by scholars through the ages.

Fourth collected edition one of four variants each with a different publisher's name in the colophon: the others were Richard Kele Thomas Petit and Robert Toye. Pforzheimer notes that to judge from the relative numbers of extant copies it is probable that they shared equally in the edition. The woodcuts of the pilgrims that had first been printed in Caxton's 1483 edition are here replaced by two new cuts of The Knight and The Squire which were then reprinted in later black letter editions through to 1602.

‎London: Pr. by Jhon sic Kyngston for Jhon sic Wight 1561. Folio 33.7 cm 13.25". 4 CCCLXVII ff. lacking 6 prelim. ff. incl. t.-p. and "General Prologue"; pagination erratic; CCCLXXVIII lacking but supplied in facsimile. <br><br>Early edition of the first comprehensive collection of Chaucer's works � along with several spurious pieces. This is the fourth edition of the Workes following the first of 1532 which included the first printed appearances of a number of Chaucer's verse and prose pieces among them the Book of the Duchess and the Legend of Good Women. Editor William Thynne examined a number of manuscripts and printed versions in order to provide what he considered the most accurate renditions possible of the texts; his work helped to shape and direct the Renaissance perspective on Chaucer and his canon.<br>    That the text is printed in double columns of => black-letter � this being late for that except in realms of serious law or theology � will have lent it an air of "auctorite" and perhaps of pleasantly suitable archaism for its original readers; the printer has also supplied => decorative woodcut initials in a variety of sizes some historiated some signed "I.R." and one with a backwards "N" while the "Knight's Tale" opens with => a large woodcut of the armored knight mounted and with jousting lance in hand. The Romaunt of the Rose is marked by a separate title-page with an elaborate border depicting the genealogy of Henry VIII using the tree motif. As the title-page and prologue are not present in this copy it is difficult to ascertain which of the two variant states of this edition is represented here. <br>    <br>    ESTC S107207; STC 2nd ed. 5076.

First four leaves with upper portions repaired with loss of two paragraphs of "Eight Goodly Questions" which is bound in between two leaves of the preface two and a half paragraphs of Hoccleve's "To the Kings Most Noble Grace" about 14 lines of Thynne's dedication to Henry VIII and upper portions of the table of contents; tear to first page of the "Knight's Tale" neatly repaired from rear. Pages age-toned some from the midpoint onwards with waterstaining across text noticeable but never dark nor obscuring; otherwise the mostly marginal inksmear chip/tear at an edge or expectable soiling only. Several paper flaws one significant and with the printing accomplished over it in instructive fashion; in some sections apparent bad inking for the press with light spots and dark ones scattered; pagination notably erratic with some numerals skipped and some repeated. Occasional instances of early inked annotations and marks of emphasis particularly in the Romaunt including long lines drawn marginally and across text. Imperfect "read hard" when young and priced to reflect that; but still a Chaucerian high spot featuring all the tales of the Canterbury Tales and many other important pieces the array set forth in => the 16th century's "antique" style.

‎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.
