Product Description

 

Based on the definitive Riverside Chaucer, this edition of The Canterbury Tales contains the complete text of all 24 Tales, thoroughly updated scholarship from the past 20 years, and extensive editorial support. This volume is ideal for instructors who want to assign only the Tales and have no need for the complete Chaucer.

An overview briefly outlines the basic plot and main idea of each Tale, while a section on language and versification helps students with pronunciation. Explanatory notes provide information on sources, problematic passages, and critical interpretations. Additional pedagogy includes a glossary, a section on Chaucer's life, an index, a general bibliography, and a list of abbreviations.

A Pilgrimage to Canterbury, and For Us, a Pilgrimage Through Hard Times

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: I strongly recommend the Canterbury Tales to anyone who wishes to read literature from Middle European History, or even just looking to read a good book.
Review: Before I start my review, I would like to say a few words. First, allow me to apologize for my nonexistant ratings and not writing as much as I used to. Eleventh grade just started in the beginning of September, and so far, it has taken me on a...

Review: I did an entire class on The Canterbury Tales one semester in college. I had read some tales before that in high school, but had not really delved deeply into any of them except "The Wyf of Bathe's Prologue and Tale".

I liked Chaucer from...

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2000
Review: I can't speak for everyone here, if I could I'd be in the circus, but the first time I heard the words "Canterbury Tales" I just knew I was going to hate it. Poetry? Come on teach, can't you just poke my eyes out with a stick or something? Written...

Professional Reviews

  Chesterton, G. K.: "As a fact of literary history, Chaucer was one of the most original men who ever lived. There had never been anything like the lively realism of the ride to Canterbury done or dreamed of in our literature before. He is not only the father of all our poets, but the grandfather of all our novelists."
