Second edition hard back binding in publisher's original black cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 5½''. Since it was first published in 1980, Terry Jones' study of Chaucer's Knight has proved to be one of the most enduringly popular and controversial books ever to hit the world of Chaucer scholarship. The former 'Python' offers an imaginative and authoritative account of the Knight in the Canterbury Tales, which questions the accepted view of him as a paragon of Christian chivalry, and argues that he is in fact no more than a professional mercenary who has spent his life in the service of petty despots and tyrants around the world. Contains [xiii]-1, 319 printed pages of text with monochrome illustration, map, and plan. Fine condition book in Very Good condition dust wrapper with small rub to the top front corner, not price clipped. Dust wrapper supplied in archive acetate film protection. Member of the P.B.F.A.
