Nevill Coghill’s masterly and brilliant modern British verse translation with all the vigor and poetry of Chaucer’s fourteenth-century Midsection British
In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the fantastic touchstones of British books, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between several pilgrims from all strolls of life is the occasion for a series of tales that add the Knight’s profile of courtly love and the ebullient Partner of Bath tub’s Arthurian tale, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Make. Abundant and diverse, The Canterbury Tales offer us an unrivalled glimpse into the life and mind of medieval England.
