Penguin Classics Canterbury Tales

by Geoffrey Chaucer
Translated by Neville Coghill

Penguin UK (PB) | January 28, 2003 | Trade Paperback

Based on 7 ratings | Rate this

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 crowd 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.
Translated by Nevill Coghill
