Description
An edition of Caxton's delightful Book of Curtesye, originally "printed at Westminster about 1477-8 A.D." As well as the usual instructions on good manners and behaviour (Lose not your gyrdel / sittyng at your mete - Don't undo your girdle at the table), this guide includes a charming and clearly heartfelt section advising which poets should be read, with Chaucer, Lydgate, Gower and Occleve being judged the finest and most important.
