Jean Froissart (1337-1410) was the world's first great war correspondent, covering the great age of the Hundred Years War. His Chronicles deliver a contemporary perspective on the latest Medieval news-from the crowning of Edward III to the downfall of Richard II-made all the richer by Froissart's clear enthusiasm as he files his reports from the front lines of history. Included here: Froissart's famous court's eye descriptions of the "Black Death," the Siege of Calais, jousting, and chivalry in action on the battlefields of Crécy and Poitier… (más)
I read this version to stitch together all the other selections of the great extravaganza that I had encountered over the decades. Johnes is clearer than Berners, and this 1844 translation is readable, though a heavy book, It is somewhat illustrated in the style of its time, and printed in double columns. A good time, but the sheer size makes it research rather than a quiet read. ( )
This is my second review of this title because this is another translation. The volume here is " H. P. Dunster's condensation of the Thomas Johnes translation. For years it was my only copy, and though it has no pictures, and doesn't have everything, and there's no footnotes, It's a pretty good selection. ( )

The Penguin Classics edition (ISBN 0140442006) is "a selection covering less than one-sixth of the total length of the Chronicles" (Introduction p. 27).
Then it should be separated from this work, no? Because these are complete of completish editions of Froissart's Chronicles. Selections edited by Geoffrey Brereton and John Joliffe have their own entires. Do not combine with complete editions or selections by other editors.
