Geoffrey Chaucer The Canterbury TalesGeoffrey Chaucer 著
内容提要：
The procession that crosses Chaucer's pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry.The Knight,the Miller,the Friar,the Squire,the Prioress,the Wife of Bath,and others who make up the cast of characters-including Chaucer himself-are real people,with human emotions and weaknesses.When it is remebered that Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was the standard literary language across western Europe,the magnitude of his achievement is even more remarkable.But Chaucer's genius needs no historical introduction;it bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales.
Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Great Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe contains the original Pocket Books introduction, first published in 1951, along with an updated selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further readings.
作者简介
Geoffrey Chaucer，considered by many to be both the father of modern English poetry and the father of the modern English novel ,also distinguished himself in his lifetime as a civil servant and diplomat under three kings of England.When he was taken prisoner by the French,the King himself contributed to his ransom.When,in later years,the King wished to reward Chaucer for his services to the crown,he was granted-among other favors-the right to demand a daily jug of wine from the pantry of the royal butler.Toward the end of his career,he became a knight of the shire for Kent.
