Softcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. The Companion to Chaucer Studies arose out of present necessity: it has been devised to assist students when they confront the formidable mass of Chaucerian scholarship, and, in particular, to give those who have small library facilities some idea of the critical background which seems essential for an appreciation of Chaucer's poetry at any but a superficial level. It may also, perhaps, prove stimulating and useful to those already familiar with Chaucerian scholarship. - Preface. Some underlining Ex-Libris and is stamped as such. Solid binding.

Sir Surendranath Banerjea (born Nov. 10, 1848, Calcutta, Indiadied Aug. 6, 1925, Barrackpore, near Calcutta) Indian statesman, one of the founders of modern India. As a young man, he attempted unsuccessfully to serve in the Indian Civil Service, at the time virtually closed to ethnic Indians. He then became a teacher and founded a college in Calcutta (now Kolkata), which was later named for him. Banerjea attempted to bring Hindus and Muslims together for political action, and for 40 years he put forward a nationalist viewpoint in his newspaper, The Bengalee. Twice elected president of the Indian National Congress, he advocated for an Indian constitution on the Canadian model. He was elected in 1913 to two legislative councils and later was knighted (1921); in 1924 he was defeated by an independence candidate, whereupon he retired to write his autobiography, A Nation in the Making (1925).
