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.

讀後感
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...
評分語言課和閱讀課都在研究這本書，讀完瞭絕大部分的故事，並且依照舊例，當堂背誦general prologue開頭十八行。還蠻喜歡這本書的，故事趣味性強，除個彆故事如knight's tale外都不算長，很多同學直接讀middle english，實在hold不住，還是選瞭這個譯本讀的現代英語。因為是詩歌體...
評分火車開始轟鳴，Z30次列車上一片歡聲笑語。 這輕鬆的氛圍始於列車長的一句提議：“既然我們都是要乘火車去北京看天安門的，一路上大傢盡可以暢所欲言。每個人說一個故事，精彩的話，我就免費送一瓶來自西藏冰川的礦物質純淨水，原價7塊5哦！” 然後大傢就“爭奇鬥艷”地講瞭起...

一點也不喜歡。
评分那些惆悵的英美文學課啊.......
评分一點也不喜歡。
评分就讀瞭兩個tales... 勉強算讀過瞭？
评分關注主題：religion / gender / age as a performance / deconstruction/ history. Chaucer是否對一切主流的價值觀都抱著嘲諷揶揄的態度呢？我們是否過度解讀瞭中世紀的詩歌呢？不管怎麼樣，這是一本真正的寶庫。
