The House of Fame by Simon Webb
Geoffrey Chaucer's 'House of Fame' is a surreal account of a dream in which the poet visits the palace where Fame herself sits in state. Chaucer's tour-guide to this strange corner of the medieval universe is a comically garrulous eagle, and there is even time for the pair to stop by the House of Rumour. Simon Webb's highly accessible modern English verse translation conveys the humour and colour of Chaucer's original, and Simon's introduction explains why the poem is worthy of comparison with Chaucer's better-known 'Canterbury Tales'.With introduction, glossary and bibliography.| SKU | Unavailable |
