The Canterbury Tales (In Modern English)

The Canterbury Tales (In Modern English)

by Geoffrey Chaucer  •  Nevill Coghill (Translator)

  • LITERATURE
  • 2003
  • PAPER
  • 504 PAGES

A "Penguin Classics" edition of the cornerstone of medieval English literature, Chaucer's unfinished tales of pilgrims en route to Canterbury. Nevill Coghill makes the going easier by translating the 600-year-old collection of epic poetry into modern English prose, but it's still a weighty endeavor.  (GBR250, $10.00)
