THE CANTERBURY TALES FULLY ANNOTATED EDITION - ...

Assembling at the Tabard Inn in Southwark  twenty-nine pilgrims begin their journey to
Canterbury Cathedral. To entertain themselves on their long road  their host suggests that they
regale each other with stories  with the teller of the best tale set to earn a free supper. The
pilgrims correspond to all sections of medieval society  from the crusading knight to the
drunken cook  and their tales span a range of genres  including the comic ribaldry and
deception of `The Miller's Tale' and the story of chivalry and courtly romance told by the
Franklin. Unfinished at the time of his death  The Canterbury Tales are here presented in their
original Middle-English. This edition contains a wealth of material and over 3 000 notes which
will help all students of Chaucer's masterpiece.
