About This Item
London: George Routledge, 1854 "The Dunmow Flitch has passed into a proverb. It is referred to by Chaucer in a manner which proves that allusion to it was as intelligible in his day as it was in later times. Instituted by a Fitzwalter in the early part of the thirteenth century, the custom continued in force until the middle of the eighteenth, the date of this tale. vi, 290pp with good line illustrations by Sir John Gilbert. The book now housed in a handsome latter day binding.
