Geoffrey Chaucer's "Prologue" to The Canterbury Tales"

Description:

Though J. R. R. Tolkien translated portions of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, he did not live to complete the project. Fortunately another Inkling, Nevill Coghill, succeeded where Tolkien could not, and produced the modernized verse-rendering that today’s selection comes from. Happy reading!
