Modern English Verse Translation

Chaucer's greatest work, written towards the end of the fourteenth century, paints a brilliant picture of medieval life, society, and values. Four more delightful tales from one of the most entertaining storytellers of all time.

Though writing in the 13th century, Chaucer’s wit and observation comes down undiminished through the ages, especially in this accessible modern verse translation. The stories vary considerably from the uproarious Wife of Bath’s Tale, promoting the power of women to the sober account of patient Griselda in the Clerk’s Tale.

Also contains The Reeve's Tale and The Nun's Priest Tale.
