{"product_id":"the-canterbury-tales-9781551114842","title":"The Canterbury Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Broadview Canterbury Tales is a new edition of the complete tales in a text based on the famous Ellesmere Manuscript. Here one may read a Middle English text that is closer to what Chaucers scribe  Adam Pinkurst  actually wrote than that in any other modern edition. Unlike most editions  which draw on a number of manuscripts to recapture Chaucers original intention  this edition preserves the text as it was found in one influential manuscript. Spellings have not been standardized  the order of the lines and passages has not been altered  the text has only been emended when absolutely necessary for sense  and the original marginal glosses are noted throughout. The edition includes English glosses on the side of the page  and the introduction and notes address aspects of medieval culture  history  and language that may need explanation. A sampling of illustrations from the original manuscript is also included  along with a selection of other works that give the reader a rich sense of the cultural  political  and literary worlds in which Chaucer lived.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280064733237,"sku":"ByrdShop_1551114844","price":85.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781551114842.jpg?v=1780618883","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-canterbury-tales-9781551114842","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
