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.

評分大一閱讀課上初識坎特伯雷故事,隻覺得是和十日談差不多的民間奇譚,一個個小故事古怪生動富有趣味(有的還特彆汙XD),我索性就去書城買瞭整本來讀。坎特伯雷是一本由中古英語寫成的詩體小說,該譯本以詩譯詩,遵從形式格律,很難想象有人會花許多心思做到這一點。他的譯作既...

哲理型長詩麼
評分就讀瞭兩個tales... 勉強算讀過瞭?
評分那些惆悵的英美文學課啊.......
評分自己看沒看懂,跟著老師一起讀纔體會到其中精妙之處。隻讀瞭一部分,還沒讀完,也是真的不太好讀。喬叟不愧是大師,能在這麼嚴格的韻律要求下寫故事,真的很瞭不起!要想領悟更多還得再努力!
評分寫得還是不錯的,但中古英語讀得蛋疼啊....五個多小時看瞭兩個tales和intro,眼睛都瞎瞭
