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.

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...
評分相較於薄伽丘的《十日談》和拉伯雷的《巨人傳》,喬叟的《坎特伯雷故事》在精巧性、文學性上都更勝一籌,而我也更能接受這樣稍微莊重、細緻的文風。 在第一個騎士的故事中,講瞭他們中常見的主題——愛情,兩個受難王室兄弟同時愛上敵國王室女子,當敵國國王做判決的時候,是讓...
評分標標準準的中世紀英國傳世經典,考慮到喬叟個人旅行及閱讀其他書籍的來源,其故事靈感很大程度也囊括瞭當時的歐洲大陸,從附注中看得齣其受影響最大的應該是文藝復興早期的意大利。 本書的背景有點像中國古代的跑江湖,各色江湖人士為瞭去坎特伯雷大教堂朝聖結伴而行的路上每人...
評分Look for the young and adventurous, the rational and conscientious, whose eager mind hunger for the devouring of all but the true others; Search for the experienced seniority, the bitter sweet and cynical, whose strong fingers cut through and caressed ...
評分於2017年01月13日讀完。 一個14世紀的故事係列,多用詩歌講述,少數幾個故事使用散文寫成。故事多世俗,多關於男女之事,有些地方寫的比較直接。 比較有意思的段落如下。 “對於上帝的或者妻子的秘密,做丈夫的不應該感到好奇。隻要他看到上帝賜給他的...
