| Description: |
The father of English literature shines in this authoritative selection from the greatest collection of narrative poems in the English language. Includes footnotes, normalized spelling, and a glossary of Middle English. Reissue. |
| Synopsis: |
At the Tabard Inn in Southwark, a jovial group of pilgrims assembles, including an unscrupulous Pardoner, a noble-minded Knight, a ribald Miller, the lusty Wife of Bath, and Chaucer himself. As they set out on their journey towards the shrine of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury, each character agrees to tell a tale. The twenty-four tales that follow are by turns learned, fantastic, pious, melancholy and lewd, and together offer an unrivalled glimpse into the mind and spirit of medieval England. |
