'Nevill Coghill's easy, seductive translation ensures that this, the most
popular work in English Literature - now 600 years old - will run through yet
more centuries' Melvyn Bragg
In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English
literature. A storytelling competition within a group of pilgrims from all walks
of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's
account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend to the
ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook. This masterly and vivid modern
English verse translation retains all the vigour and poetry of Chaucer's
fourteenth-century Middle English.
