The Canterbury Tales
Geoffrey Chaucer
Assembling
at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, twenty-nine pilgrims begin their journey to
Canterbury Cathedral. To entertain themselves on their long road, their host
suggests that they regale each other with stories, with the teller of the best
tale set to earn a free supper. The pilgrims correspond to all sections of
medieval society, from the crusading knight to the drunken cook, and their
tales span a range of genres, including the comic ribaldry and deception of
`The Miller's Tale' and the story of chivalry and courtly romance told by the
Franklin. Unfinished at the time of his death, The Canterbury Tales are here
presented in their original Middle-English.
This edition contains a wealth of material and over 3,000
notes which will help all students of Chaucer's masterpiece.
