Alexander Pope and Geoffrey Chaucer
- Published
- The Warden's Meeting: A Tribute to John Sparrow. (Oxford: Oxford University Society of Bibliophiles, 1977), 9-32.
- Description
- Hunter describes a copy of the 1602 edition of Chaucer in his possession signed "A. Pope." The volume is defective, lacking the first gathering. The signature comes at the beginning of gathering B. There are no marginalia. Presumably this was a duplicate in Pope's library. In the Hurd library at Hartlebury Castle, Worcestershire, there is a copy of the 1598 Chaucer inscribed "Ex libris Alexandri Popei" with marginal annotations. Presumably this was Pope's working copy.
