Book: The Canterbury Tales( Series - Penguin Classics ) With their astonishing diversity of tone and subject matter, "The Canterbury Tales" have become one of the touchstones of medieval literature.
Translated here into modern English, these tales of a motley crowd of pilgrims drawn from all walks of life-from knight to nun, miller to monk-reveal a picture of English life in the fourteenth century that is as robust as it is representative.
Translated by Nevill Coghill
