Loading... Chronicles of England, France, Spain (edition 1844)by Jean Froissart, Thomas Johnes (Translator), Sainte-Palaye (Illustrator)I read this version to stitch together all the other selections of the great extravaganza that I had encountered over the decades. Johnes is clearer than Berners, and this 1844 translation is readable, though a heavy book, It is somewhat illustrated in the style of its time, and printed in double columns. A good time, but the sheer size makes it research rather than a quiet read. This is my second review of this title because this is another translation. The volume here is " H. P. Dunster's condensation of the Thomas Johnes translation. For years it was my only copy, and though it has no pictures, and doesn't have everything, and there's no footnotes, It's a pretty good selection. |
