The Canterbury Tales: Chaucer : Canterbury Tales (Everyman's Library)

Product Description This new reprint of the existing Everyman CANTERBURY TALES retains the essential ingredients of A C Cawley's highly respected edition, but adds a new prefactory introduction by Professor Malcolm Andrews of The Queen's University Belfast; a new suggested reading list; and a new chronology of Chaucer's life and times. Whether read for study or purely pleasure, the CANTERBURY TALES remains as fresh and enjoyable today as when it was written. From the Inside Flap About the Author Geoffrey Chaucer , who was born in 1343 and died in 1400, is widely considered to be the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages and was the first poet to be buried in Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. While he achieved fame during his lifetime as an author of a number of works, he is best known today for THE CANTERBURY TALES.
