Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. Ivory/Cream coloured cloth, hardback book, with beautiful gilt title impressions, both on the front board and spine. Comes with its own dust jacket, which has a transparent cover over the jacket, not price clipped. The book is in really good condition, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. Tiny discolouration to top half of front and back boards, more from shelf-life than any other form, hardly noticeable, but thought it prudent to mention. 243 pages all intact, all pages, text and lovely illustrations are in really good, clean, readable order. Whilst most of the translation is in English verse, there are some poems that are still in French text. Dr. McCaskie's scholarly respect for his text, his rejection of the fictions and falsehoods that have accumulated around the poet and his poems, and his integrity as translator, combined with the accuracy, ingenuity, and felicity with which he preserves Villon's meaning as well as his rhythms and rhymes-schemes, are such as to establish the claim that this is the first complete translation into English verse which reveals, not the romantic vagabond of novel, film and legend, but the real Villon.…
