-Oxford University Press 2001-. Reprint. x354 pages with index. Traditional blue cloth gilt. Fine no dustjacket. Although "The Decameron" and "The Canterbury Tales" have often been linked this study examines them beyond shared general similarities and looks at the search for individual analogue or source material which has proved so inconclusive. It examines the texts and their internal dynamics primarily as a whole and reveals many surprising similarities which have hitherto remained unnoticed. The two collections are examined in the light of their literary diversity their shape as a form of quodlibet debate their discussion of literature and its autonomy using the oppositions of utile diletto "sentence" and "solaas" and the specific way that individual narratives are treated so as to create a labyrinthine web for the reader to both negotiate and enjoy.

(Chaucer, Geoffrey) Paul Strohm:
The Poet's Tale: Chaucer and the year that made The Canterbury Tales
-Profile Books 2014-. First edition first impression 2014. xiii284 pages. Illustrated. Cloth. Near fine in price-clipped dustjacket. As the year 1386 began Geoffrey Chaucer was a middle-aged bureaucrat and sometime poet living in London and enjoying the perks that came with his close connections to its booming wool trade. When it ended he was jobless homeless out of favour with his friends and living in exile. Such a reversal might have spelled the end of his career; but instead at the loneliest time of his life Chaucer made the revolutionary decision to 'maken vertu of necessitee' and keep writing. The result - the Canterbury Tales - was a radically new form of poetry that would make his reputation bring him to a national audience and preserve his work for posterity. In The Poet's Tale Paul Strohm brings Chaucer's world to vivid life from the streets and taverns of crowded medieval London to rural seclusion in Kent and reveals this crucial year as a turning point in the fortunes of England's most important poet.

Ashbee established the Guild of Handicraft at Essex House London. Around the same time Ashbee created the Essex House Press. The Essex House Press published its first book in 1898. The work of the press was very much a part of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Ashbee continually linked the aims of the press with those of John Ruskin and William Morris and described the object of the movement as “making useful things…making them well and…making them beautiful.†The critics however were not so sure about the work of Essex House Press calling it “articraftiness.†Later booklovers came to admire much of its work. Some of the presses and some of the workmen for Essex House Press came from the Kelmscott Press after its demise in 1897 following the death of William Morris. Ashbee designed his own typeface called “Endeavor†for the press. In 1902 the press moved to Glouscestershire. The Essex House Press closed in 1910 having produced more than seventy titles."

Housed in the original soiled and frayed blue cloth portfolio. Lettering primarily in black and occasionally in red blue or gold ILLUMINATED THROUGHOUT TITLE PAGE WITH A FULL BORDER INCORPORATING bars with colorful tile patterns or vinestem and featuring TWO SMALL MINIATURES IN THE LOWER CORNERS DEPICTING THE KNIGHT AND THE WIFE OF BATH a shield at the head and tail; the rest of the text embellished with blue and green vines and red penwork eight large ink initials as well as six large gilt initials on colored ground each leaf with either a panel border or "L" shaped border composed of leafy vines and flowers penwork embellishments colorful patterns and acanthus and gold bezants one border with three birds nesting in the decoration one with the bust of a woman dressed in Medieval garb and one with a small dragon. â—†Just a hint of rubbing to fore edge and corners but in extremely fine and attractive condition inside and out.<br/> <br/> This is a charming modern illuminated manuscript penned at the end of WWII containing excerpts from the prologue to Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales." As stated in the colophon the manuscript "was Designed Written out and Illuminated by . . . John Wilfred Clarke of Ribbleton Ho: Preston for his friend Edwin Goddard Stokes of Ringinglow at Sheffield." We have been unable to find any information about the artist but he was clearly a talented amateur with a flair for pattern and design. Though he incorporates elements found in Medieval manuscripts--trailing ivy leaves penwork decoration tessellation and illuminated initials--the style is at the same time modern utilizing bold color combinations and layered shapes and patterns. A different manuscript finished by the same artist the year prior gives his location as Ecclesall Sheffield and it seems quite possible that he may have learned his craft at the Sheffield School of Art which was founded in 1843 and offered classes in fine arts and crafts. We do know that the binder Walter Slinn d. 1964 was a staff member at the school as well as a prominent local bookbinder. This work was completed just a few months after the Allied victory in Europe making its nationalistic sentiment bright colors and exuberantly gilt binding quite moving when seen in this context as though the artist is brushing off the austerity and bleakness of the past and looking forward to a brighter more joyous future. We have no information about the recipient other than a name but it is clear that this item was carefully looked after as clearly suggested by its fine condition and the presence of its original homemade portfolio. unknown

[Anvil Press] Chaucer, Geoffrey | designed by Victor Hammer
The Booke of the Duchesse
Lexington KY: Anvil Press 1954. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. 62 pp. Limited edition number 66 of 225 copies. As issued in paper over boards. Largely unopened. Binding is lightly soiled with minor shelfwear. A better brighter copy that often found. <br /> <br /> Printed by Jacob Hammer in red and black in Victor Hammer's American Uncial type with title in Civilite. A beautiful edition designed by Victor Hammer and issued by the Lexington collective The Anvil Press. The Press and those associated became the center of the burgeoning private press scene in Lexington in the middle of the 20th century. Certainly Victor Hammer was the most accomplished and established of the group having been practicing the art at the highest levels in Florence and Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s before the War chased him to Aurora New York and eventually Lexington in 1948. But the Anvil Press was much more than just Victor Hammer. This movement began years before Hammer's arrival and continued well beyond his death. Holbrook Paul Evans ed. An Introduction to Victor and Carolyn Hammer 1995: VI/4. Anvil Press unknown
