| Publisher Description: Beyond its importance as a literary work of unvarnished genius, Geoffrey Chaucer s unfinished epic poem is also one of the most beloved works in the English language and for good reason: it is lively, absorbing, perceptive, and outrageously funny. But despite the brilliance of Chaucer s work, the continual evolution of our language has rendered his words unfamiliar to many of us. Esteemed poet, translator, and scholar Burton Raffel s magnificent new unabridged translation brings Chaucer s poetry back to life, ensuring that none of the original s wit, wisdom, or humanity is lost to the modern reader. This edition also features an introduction by the widely influential medievalist and author John Miles Foley that discusses Chaucer s work as well as his life and times." |
