"A romp for the ages" ("Vanity Fair")-now with a graphic cover and
deluxe packaging
Renowned novelist, historian, and biographer Peter Ackroyd takes
on what is arguably the greatest poem in the English language and
presents it in a prose vernacular that makes it accessible to
readers while preserving the spirit of the original. A mirror for
medieval society, "The Canterbury Tales" concerns a motley group of
pilgrims who meet in a London inn on their way to Canterbury and
agree to take part in a storytelling competition. Ackroyd's
contemporary prose emphasizes the humanity of these characters-as
well as explicitly rendering their bawdy humor-yet still
masterfully evokes the euphonies and harmonies of Chaucer's verse.
