Book Description
This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.
About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

关于三本书:Canterbury Tales, Decameron,Of human bondage. ====================================== 《十日谈》早在初中就当淫书读过,借一本《坎德博雷故事》读读看——却是在“毕业之前穷尽借书卡”的念头下萌生。算一算之间,似有十年。 这两本老气横秋的故事集,一直...
评分因为乔叟,第二次借来这本书。 假期里,静下心,一页页翻读。 韵律方面,不可能感受,毕竟是中译本。要读原版,也不大可能,古英语太古。至于故事,有的喜欢有的厌恶。 觉得恐怖的要数梅利别斯夫人普鲁登丝的说教本领,格里泽尔达的极限忍耐度,...
评分As the title indicates, l cannot help associating this book with another distinguished tales, Decameron written by Giovanni Boccacci, which tremendously aroused my interest in making a further comparison between the two masterpieces. Despite the appa...
评分在父系社会的中世纪英国,竟然有女子提出男婚女嫁不应该受人干涉和妻权应该高于夫权的主张。这本身就具有划时代的意义。在近现代,性别平等成为人人口中的吐沫。巴思妇提出中世纪社会中婚姻和妇女问题,为人感慨万千。在牛津学员的故事中格丽西达一次又一次被丈夫考验,舍弃子...
评分大一阅读课上初识坎特伯雷故事,只觉得是和十日谈差不多的民间奇谭,一个个小故事古怪生动富有趣味(有的还特别污XD),我索性就去书城买了整本来读。坎特伯雷是一本由中古英语写成的诗体小说,该译本以诗译诗,遵从形式格律,很难想象有人会花许多心思做到这一点。他的译作既...
Providing a panoramic picture of his time through describing the characters of all strata.
评分关注主题:religion / gender / age as a performance / deconstruction/ history. Chaucer是否对一切主流的价值观都抱着嘲讽揶揄的态度呢?我们是否过度解读了中世纪的诗歌呢?不管怎么样,这是一本真正的宝库。
评分自己看没看懂,跟着老师一起读才体会到其中精妙之处。只读了一部分,还没读完,也是真的不太好读。乔叟不愧是大师,能在这么严格的韵律要求下写故事,真的很了不起!要想领悟更多还得再努力!
评分哲理型長詩麼
评分写得还是不错的,但中古英语读得蛋疼啊....五个多小时看了两个tales和intro,眼睛都瞎了
