Everyman's Library No. 992 (Poetry and Drama). Poem in Middle English, supplementary text in English.
Troilus and Criseyde, one of the most beautiful and one of the longest of Chaucer's poems, was written between the years 1379 and 1383, when the author was in his early forties. This new edition has been prepared by John Warrington from the celebrated Campbsall Manuscript, which was made for King Henry V when he was Prince of Wales; and where the reading is doubtful or obviously corrupt, recourse has been had to other manuscript sources and the emendations of former editors.

Good condition. Pages, cover, spine - intact and sound. Inscription at top of first page. Some pages have small amount of underlinings/notes in pencil. No dust jacket.
