Canterbury Tales

THE PARDONER’S TALE AND THE NUN’S PRIEST’S TALE FROM CHAUCER’S CANTEBURY TALES. It has been said that no translation, however studied and skilful, can do justice to the genius of Chaucer’s writing.This work is therefore in the Middle English allowing all of us to at least sample the energy and vitality of Chaucer’s phrasing and appreciate an even more vivid recreation of his characters.Robert Ross, whilst not a scholar, has the advantage of being a fine actor able to convey and interpret the richness of the language and the mastery of Chaucer’s verse.
