Book Description

This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.

About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

读后感

于2017年01月13日读完。 一个14世纪的故事系列，多用诗歌讲述，少数几个故事使用散文写成。故事多世俗，多关于男女之事，有些地方写的比较直接。 比较有意思的段落如下。 “对于上帝的或者妻子的秘密，做丈夫的不应该感到好奇。只要他看到上帝赐给他的...  

相较于薄伽丘的《十日谈》和拉伯雷的《巨人传》，乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事》在精巧性、文学性上都更胜一筹，而我也更能接受这样稍微庄重、细致的文风。 在第一个骑士的故事中，讲了他们中常见的主题——爱情，两个受难王室兄弟同时爱上敌国王室女子，当敌国国王做判决的时候，是让...

《坎特伯雷故事》是中世纪“英国诗歌之父”杰弗雷•乔叟的顶峰之作，也是一部英国文艺复兴早期的浮世绘。一帮朝圣客在前往圣地坎特伯雷大教堂的旅途中，以讲故事的方式增加旅途乐趣。由于这帮人鱼龙混杂、心态各异，所以讲出来的故事也就三观不齐、五味杂陈。既有圣迹和英雄...

用户评价

就读了两个tales... 勉强算读过了？

坎特伯雷故事

哲理型長詩麼

这个可以当小黄书看。

自己看没看懂，跟着老师一起读才体会到其中精妙之处。只读了一部分，还没读完，也是真的不太好读。乔叟不愧是大师，能在这么严格的韵律要求下写故事，真的很了不起！要想领悟更多还得再努力！
