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As the title indicates, l cannot help associating this book with another distinguished tales, Decameron written by Giovanni Boccacci, which tremendously aroused my interest in making a further comparison between the two masterpieces. Despite the appa...
評分 評分前兩天看完瞭《坎特伯雷故事》(The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer, 【英】傑弗雷·喬叟著,方重譯,人民文學齣版社,2004年,名著名譯插圖本係列),作為我補讀古典名著的又一個小小成果。其實早已過瞭摘抄好詞好句的年紀,但是為瞭梳理和總結一下,還是順便做瞭一些摘...
評分在傑弗裏•喬叟之前,大緻有這幾種講故事的形式。 荷馬,最早的詩歌之王,吟遊的詩人。當他開始歌頌人和神袛的戰鬥時,總要先對繆斯女神祈求靈感。他的史詩,描述與命運抗爭的人類,歌頌波瀾壯闊的戰爭。 當時能跟荷馬媲美的,我想隻有俄爾浦斯這個希臘傳說中的人物。他是一...
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
