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 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《坎特伯雷故事》是中世紀“英國詩歌之父”傑弗雷•喬叟的頂峰之作,也是一部英國文藝復興早期的浮世繪。一幫朝聖客在前往聖地坎特伯雷大教堂的旅途中,以講故事的方式增加旅途樂趣。由於這幫人魚龍混雜、心態各異,所以講齣來的故事也就三觀不齊、五味雜陳。既有聖跡和英雄...

評分Most hated book in our Senior World Lit. class...Not so bad after all those years.
評分關注主題: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。
