Local Bookstores

I visited the local bookstores and took stock of their Chaucer inventory. I still need to check out the university bookstore, though.

Large Used Bookstore

West, Richard. Chaucer: His Life and Times. 2000.

Chaucer: Sources and Backgrounds. Oxford, 1977.

Geoffrey Chaucer of England. 1946. [I can't make out what I wrote for the publisher.]

Barron's Interlinear.

Wife of Bath. Cambridge, 1965, 2000.

Troilus and Criseyde. Penguin, 1971, 1985.

Gardner, John. Life and Times of Chaucer. 1977.

T and C. Oxford, 1988.

T and C. Modernized by G.P. Krapp. Vintage, 1932, 1959.

T and C. Everyman, 1953, 1991.

On the one hand, I'm surprised by how much T and C there is. Of course, given this is a used bookstore, maybe it's not so surprising that's what people don't want to keep.

Nothing other than Chaucer's inclusion in an anthology of poetry edited by -- wait for it -- Harold Bloom!
