- Summary
- "Chaucer Illustrated presents ten scholarly essays, specifically commissioned for this volume, that collectively trace pictorial renditions of The Canterbury Tales from the Ellesmere Manuscript (c. 1410) to the 20th-century illustrations of Rockwell Kent and Eric Gill. The contributors address the way the illustrations illuminate the history of book production, marketing, and readership; and the writers also consider how artists have interpreted Chaucer's text."--Jacket.
