200937612Nacogdoches TX: LaNana Creek Press 2009. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. Limited edition but no limitation information available. No copies found in commerce in WorldCat or in Rare Book Hub. This is a striking and compelling production of the famous Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer. It is beautifully printed and bound. A note from the press states that "the narration of this tale works by condensing actions and their effects into powerful symbols and figurative images. It is therefore a work that lends itself to illustration. The Knight's Tale has in fact been illustrated many times but never so thoroughly as in the current edition. Moreover past illustrators have tended to romanticize or sentimentalize the story eschewing its most violent and disturbing images."<br /> <br /> The book was printed at the Press when it was part of the College of Fine Arts at Stephen F. Austin University. The Press was part of the Stephen F. Austin St. University College of Fine Arts until December of 2019. Since then the press has become part of the Crazy Creek Studios and ceased any connection to SFA. Printed from photopolymer plates. Designed and printed by Jones and Terri Goggans. Printed in Goudy Thirty and Gill Sans type on Hahnemühle Gutenberg paper. Text is printed in black with red shoulder notes. The book is accompanied by a recording of the text by Marc Guidry on a disc in a pocket on the front pastedown. Bound in dark red cloth with a burgundy leather spine with gilt titling to spine. There is a small black and red image of one of the book's illustrations on the cover. Housed in a gray cloth slipcase with a circular hole in the front cover to reveal the cover illustration.
