Publisher's Summary:
Beyond its importance as a literary work of unvarnished genius, Geoffrey Chaucers unfinished epic poem is also one of the most beloved works in the English languageand for good reason: it is lively, absorbing, perceptive, and outrageously funny. But despite the brilliance of Chaucers work, the continual evolution of our language has rendered his words unfamiliar to many of us. Esteemed poet, translator, and scholar Burton Raffels magnificent new unabridged translation brings Chaucers poetry back to life, ensuring that none of the originals wit, wisdom, or humanity is lost to the modern reader. This edition also features an introduction by the widely influential medievalist and author John Miles Foley that discusses Chaucers work as well as his life and times.
Chaucers blend of humour, realism, philosophical depth, poetic virtuosity, and masterful control of dialogue and character was never matchedAs a storyteller, he is supreme.--CambridgeGuide to Literature in English
