8vo. (23 x 15 cm). pp. lxxxi + 502. Bound by Mudie in half brown morocco over marbled boards, spine with raised bands and tooled decoration, lettering in gilt; all edges red sprinkled; green endpapers. Portrait vignette of Chaucer and an illustration of his tomb at Westminster Abbey towards the front of the book. Vertical crack to front board, small dent to bottom edge of back board, edges lightly rubbed. Generally a good copy. Thomas Tyrwhitt's edition of Chaucer's poetry was initially published in five volumes in 1775 and again with a glossary in 1778. Tyrwhitt's treatment of Chaucer was revolutionary and his well-researched glossary opened Chaucer's obscure and archaic language to a much wider readership. His edition is considered by many to be foundational in modern Chaucer editorship.
