"A truly remarkable achievement." -Barry Unsworth In the tradition of Seamus Heaneys Beowulf and Marie Borroffs Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sheila Fishers The Selected Canterbury Tales is a vivid, lively, and readable translation of the most famous work of Englands premier medieval poet. Preserving Chaucers rhyme and meter, Fisher makes these tales accessible to a contemporary ear while inviting readers to the Middle English original on facing pages. Her informative introduction highlights Chaucers artistic originality in his memorable portrayals of surprisingly modern women and men from across the spectrum of medieval society.
