Imagining Fame 
An introduction to Geoffrey Chaucer's  House of Fame
 by Anne Worthington Prescott
illustrations by Kathryn Finter

"This is a highly entertaining poem describing a wild ride through space in search of truth and harmony in the midst of chaos. "Let me tell it like it is" ("Lat me tel hyt lik hyt ys" ) says the eagle to the poet in Chaucer's  House of Fame, written around 1383 as the poet's work was becoming famous. Chaucer was the most modern of medievalists, anticipating terrorists and celebrities, and viewing earth from the eagle's claws as if from a 747.

Canadian artist Kathryn Finter's unique manuscript illustrations illuminate the text.  These prints are among the first Chaucer illustrations of our time."
