This Is A New Release Of The Original 1909 Edition.
1909. This prologue and tale-which is not Chaucer's, appear only in
the Duke of Northumberland's manuscript of the Canterbury Tales.
The prologue is of particular interest because we see the pilgrims
arrive in Canterbury. A short period of time is spent in the
cathedral, then after dinner, when they agree each to tell a tale
on the return trip, they all go out to amuse themselves. The Knight
takes the Squire to see the city's battlements; the Prioress and
Wife walk through gardens; the Monk invites the Parson and Friar to
visit a friend of his; the Miller and Summoner (having stole
broaches) plan on drinking; others go wandering about the city. The
Pardoner plans to seduce a tapster, and his misadventures are the
main subject of the Prologue. The next morning (the Pardoner all
bruised) the pilgrims leave Canterbury and the Merchant tells the
Tale of Beryn. See other titles by this author available from
Kessinger Publishing.
