The Canterbury Tales stand conspicuous among the great literary achievements of the Middle Ages. Told by a jovial procession of pilgrims - knight, priest, yeoman, miller, or cook - as they ride rowards the shrine of Thomas a Becket, they present a picture of a nation taking shape. The tone of this never-resting comedy is, by turns, learned, fantastic, lewd, pious, and ludicrous. 'Here', as John Drden said, 'is God's plenty!'. Geoffrey Chaucer began his great task in about 1386. This version in modern English, by Nevill Coghill, preserves the freshness and racy vitality of Chaucer's narrative.

Chaucer Rules - OK !!!
By Ray
I have loved Chaucer's work since my days at Grammar School in the 1940's and 1950's and this edition affords my return to the world of"Middle English.". There are good translations available to read alongside if this is necessary and in particular I would recommend that of NevillCoghill written when at Exeter College, Oxford. I am continuing to make my way alone currently and enjoying every minute of this serious but veryentertaining work of life in the period in which Chaucer lived and wrote. The characters come to life very readily and the "tales" they tell are really quite something ! I recommend it highly and wish you good luck along your pilgrimage from London to Canterbury.

Very Poor Kindle Edition
By Dr Stephen Perry
*This review relates specifically to the KINDLE edition*I am very disappointed by this Kindle book. It is essentially unreadable. There appear to be no explanatory footnotes in the Kindle edition so the numbers in brackets in the text that relate to the footnotes are useless. There are translation of various words indicated by an asterisk that are jumbled untidily amongst the text. This has clearly not been properly adapted as an e-book. It may be a cheap e-book but it money thrown away.

A Simple Edit Could Take This to 5 stars.
By Mark
This is my first reading of the Canterbury tales and I largely found it enjoyable. This book contains all of the tales in Modern English.My reason for not giving five stars is that the explanatory notes are not numbered within the tales, they are just marked with an asterisk; consequently, it is more time consuming to look up the notes than it needs to be. I find this error very surprising as it's not one error in the book, it's nearly 500 errors (or opportunities to spot the errors). Also several of the points marked with an asterisk are not even in the explanatory notes.
