Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With their astonishing diversity of tone and subject matter, The Canterbury Tales have become one of the touchstones of medieval literature. Translated here into modern English, these tales of a motley crew of pilgrims drawn from all walks of life--from knight to nun, miller to monk--reveal a picture of English life in the fourteenth century that is as robust as it is representative.

Review:

"Nevill Coghill's easy, seductive translation ensures that this, the most popular work in English Literature — now 600 years old — will run through yet more centuries, delighting yet more readers, shaping more writers." Melvyn Bragg

Synopsis:

In "The Canterbury Tales", Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. This version of the text has been translated into modern English by Nevill Coghill.

About the Author

'Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1342-1400) had a career in royal service as a member of the court and a diplomat. His literary work, notable for its range of genres, helped establish the English literary tradition.

Nevill Coghill (1899-1980) held many appointments at Oxford University. His translation of Chaucer\'s Troilus and Criseyde is also published by Penguin Classics.'
