Commissioned by King Richard II, it is a compendium of stories held together by a frame narrative in which they serve as examples given to a lover by his confessor. In this volume, which is based on Pauli's 1857 edition, H. S. Bennett has selected some of the most enjoyable passages from the Confessio Amantis. They serve together as an illuminating sample of one of the earliest and most important books in the canon of English literature.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Selections from the Confessio Amantis.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Interdisciplinary studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Interdisciplinary studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Interdisciplinary%20studies%20%5BGT%5D%22\"\u003eGT\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006684614936,"sku":"9780521136747","price":33.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521136747i_c2463a8b-42ba-469b-a351-8c40bd70694f.jpg?v=1691372254","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/confessio-amantis-selections-paperback-9780521136747","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
