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.

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...
评分于2017年01月13日读完。 一个14世纪的故事系列，多用诗歌讲述，少数几个故事使用散文写成。故事多世俗，多关于男女之事，有些地方写的比较直接。 比较有意思的段落如下。 “对于上帝的或者妻子的秘密，做丈夫的不应该感到好奇。只要他看到上帝赐给他的...

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！
