The Canterbury Tales (abridged)

Geoffrey Chaucer

The Canterbury Tales

Read by Philip Madoc, Edward de Souza, Anthony Donovan, Clive Merrison, Clive Swift, and Anton Lesser

abridged

Chaucer’s greatest work, written towards the end of the fourteenth century, paints a brilliant picture of medieval life, society, and values. The stories range from the romantic, courtly idealism of The Knight’s Tale to the joyous bawdy of the Miller’s; all are told with a freshness and vigour in this modern verse translation that make them a delight to hear.
