Geoffrey Chaucer is the finest English poet of medieval times, and The Canterbury tales is his finest work. Generally written in decasyllabic couplets, it is a narrative of high poetry and low comedy whose enduring freshness still delights today.
The Canterbury tales is an unfinished account of a journey of thirty pilgrims from London to the shrine of St. Thomas in Canterbury, and the stories that they tell each other on the roas to while away the time. Noble, tragic and bawdy tales intermingle to give fascinating insights to the pilgrims’ society and their concerns. This edition uses W.W. Skeats’ famous text: although it will present few difficulties, there is a glossary and note on the language and metre.
