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.
