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

by  gmontag ,  Sep 22, 2001
39 out of 39 people found this review helpful.
Pros: A literary classic; Many hilarious jokes; Diversity of Characters
Cons: None
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...

Classical comedy at its best.

by  Trotterman ,  Jul 16, 2000
20 out of 20 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Uhh...everything. This is some of the funniest stuff you will ever read.
Cons: The slang might cause you to miss some jokes. Read the tales very carefully, you won't be sorry.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...

Canterbury Tales

by  morgan_lafaye ,  Nov 17, 2000
10 out of 10 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Chaucer really brings the Middle Ages to life in a way that we can understand today.
Cons: The older English can sometimes be harder to understand.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: This is a fictional account of thirty pilgrims on a sacred trip to Canterbury Cathedral. Despite the fact that this is a fictional account, I believe that Geoffrey Chaucer?s Canterbury Tales is an awesome representation of Medieval social structure...

Put your money on Chaucer over Shakespeare

by  calcite ,  Mar 24, 2001
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
Pros: The only book that can tell you about an entire time period...pure marvellous
Cons: It had to be translated...so it lost some of Chaucer's original meaning
The Bottom Line: I loved it, you will love it...no questions asked. It is witty, true, and amazing that someone can get away with saying all these things.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I read this beautiful poem a couple months ago in my literature class. It have never liked poems, but this one really hit the spot. I can state boldly that anyone who is going to read about something regarding british literature, will love this poem...

5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.
Pros: great characterizations
Cons: get modern english version
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Geoffrey Chaucer was brilliant. You have to understand the history behind his stories. This particular book was written about pilgrims who went to worship at the Canterbury Cathedral following the martyrdom of Thomas Beckett. It almost seems like a...
