1880 Geoffrey CHAUCER Poems Canterbury Tales Assembly of Foules Aldine Poets 6v"If gold rusts, what then can iron do?"
― Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales
'The Canterbury Tales' is one of the most famous pieces of early English literature, written during the end of the 14th-century. Written by Geoffrey Chaucer, this book is a collection of short stories told from the perspective of traveling pilgrims on their way to Canterbury from London. Chaucer paints an accurate portrayal of English society during the time, as well as customs and social practices.
This late 19th-century printing of the poems of Chaucer includes, of course, 'Canterbury Tales', but also features works such as 'Cuckow and Nightgale', 'Assembly of Foules', and other lesser-known poems. This set from the 'Aldine Edition of the British Poets' was collected and edited by Richard Morris, supplemented with a memoir by Harris Nicolas.

The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows
) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…
