    School book
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2023*

It’s a really good book and just has a very enveloping history behind it that captures the attention of readers and allows you to emerse yourself into the book, 10/10

    Beware!  The Penguin cloth bound version is nice, but not the original language of Chaucer!
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020*

I have purchased several of these well-constructed little Penguin editions.  For Chaucer's CANTERBURY TALES I was expecting, perhaps, a bilingual version on opposing pages or an interlinear transliteration of the Middle English original, but these were not to be.  Instead, this version contains a very readable "modern English" verse rendition by Nevill Coghill, the first printing of which occurred in 1951.  It is certainly not the language of Chaucer, but Coghill does an admiral job of maintaining the humor and spirit of the tales.  He is an able rhymer and reminds that there is merit (and considerable effort, apparently) in compiling a version that is accessible enough to unfamiliar readers to be easily followed and understood, but still lyrical enough to signal that they are experiencing something special in the history of English Letters -- the unique underlying forms and style that make Chaucer "the father of English poetry."  For readers who wish to graduate to the actual Middle English text, that version is available in a relatively inexpensive Penguin Classics paperback edition that the publisher identifies as the original [Middle English] language of Chaucer.  Readers are advised to choose carefully when ordering, lest they receive an inappropriate version for their needs!
