English Literature: William Caxton (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from English Literature

There is a touch of Chaucer's sly humour in this passage which explains Caxton's enthusiasm for him; and we shall not show the printer-editor at a disadvantage if as a second extract we take his 'prohemye' to the second edition of the Canterbury Tales. This is full, as usual, of generous praise of the great poet, and interest ing also for the light it throws on the difficulties against which the early printers had to contend in their efforts to find the right books to print from.
