About this product

Product Information

Lively, absorbing, often outrageously funny, Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales is a work of genius, an undisputed classic that has held a special appeal for each generation of readers. The Tales gathers twenty-nine of literature's most enduring (and endearing) characters in a vivid group portrait that captures the full spectrum of medieval society, from the exalted Knight to the humble Plowman. This new edition includes a comprehensive introduction that summarizes some of the most important historical events and movements that defined the world of Chaucer and his pilgrims; two additional tales (Reeve's and Shipman's); introductions for each tale designed to prepare the reader for a better understanding and enjoyment of the tale; newly written and conveniently placed explanatory notes; and a new, more easily understood system for learning to pronounce Chaucerian Middle English.

    The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

    I've found, like many before me, that Chaucer has many delightful little works within a work here. I thank him for popularizing English as a written art form, as I did not complete my training in Latin. You will be using such foul and blasphemous language as "By God's Blood and Bones" for many weeks upon completing this book. My favorite tale is the Miller's; that naughty Allison and her nether eye....

    At 19, the book was an entire semester class at my university. I enjoyed it tremendously. Now 45, I wanted to see what I thought of it. My only thoughts are that Chaucer was a literary wizard.

    Medieval Times in the Eyes of Chaucer

    I am a Medieval Times fan and have read many books, fiction & non-fiction on that time period. This book is very descriptive on the daily lives of the Medieval Times people as each tells a story on the pilgrimage. The book is very long and sometimes overly full of narrative. I did read the WHOLE book. I read the book not only for the Medieval theme but because I wanted to fill in the blanks of classic books I missed growing up.

    Summer Reading Fun!

    The layout of this book is excellent. The Olde English is written on the left page, with modern english on the right. The publishers have somehow managed to lay it out line for line, so that if you wanted to read the Olde English words, you just look to the left on the line you are reading. And if you do understand Olde English, and any part gives you trouble, just look to the right, and there is the modern translation. Excellent!
