Nevill Coghill’s masterly and stunning modern British verse translation with all the current vigor and poetry of Chaucer’s fourteenth-century Midsection British

In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of British literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight’s bank account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Shower’s Arthurian star, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook. Rich and diverse, The Canterbury Tales offer us an unrivalled glimpse into the life and mind of medieval Britain.
