| Publisher Description: 1904. The illustrious work of Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales, are presented herein as a modern rendering into prose of the Prologue and ten tales. The barrier of obsolete speech is the occasion for this rendering of the Canterbury Tales in English, easily intelligible today. Mr. Mackaye presents a representative portion of Chaucer's unfinished masterpiece in such a form as shall best preserve for a modern reader the substance and style of the original. Handsomely illustrated. |
