CANTERBURY TALES,THE
A PROSE VERSION IN MODERN ENGLISH
GEOFFREY CHAUCER
A clear modern prose translation of Chaucer's masterpiece of Middle English storytelling by the acclaimed poet David Wright.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003ciu003eThe Canterbury Talesu003c/iu003e has entertained readers for centuries, with its comic animal fables, moral allegories, miniature epics of courtly love, and rollicking erotic farces that bring fourteenth-century England to life on every page. The gloriously varied stories, narrated by a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury, are peopled with saints, sinners, and ordinary mortals in a vivid panorama of the medieval world. This prose translation renders these tales as accessible and irresistible to modern readers as they were to Chaucer's contemporaries.
