A smart first edition of this scarce study of the Ballad of Sir Aldingar, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. First edition. Scarce work. A detailed study into the Ballad of Sir Aldingar, a tale in verse following King Henry II's steward who tries to seduce Queen Eleanor. When he fails, he puts a leper in her bed and goes to the king to tell him that the queen has taken a lover, and worse, that it is a diseased man. This work explores the different versions of the piece, the British tradition, English romances on related themes, the Scandinavian tradition, the history of the ballad, the motif, and more. Written by Paul Christophersen, a Danish linguist. In the original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light wear to the extremities and minor fading to the spine. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also smart with light wear and the odd small closed tear to the panel edges. Sunning to the spine and panels with the odd small mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Light spotting and minor age toning to the endpapers. Near Fine. Codice articolo 912T9
