Product Description

Product Description
Six-hundred-year-old tales with modern relevance. As well as the complete text of the Wife of Bathr's Prologue and Tale, the student will find illustrated information on Chaucer's world, including a map of the Canterbury pilgrimage, a running synopsis of the action, an explanation of unfamiliar words, and a wide range of classroom-tested activities to help bring the text to life. The Prologue and Tale is prefaced by a description of the Wife of Bath from the General Prologue, allowing for an initial investigation into the way the character is presented. Guided by the suggestions for study and the wide range of helpful information, students will readily appreciate Chaucer's wit and sense of irony, his love of controversy and his delight in character portrayal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fourteenth century feminism??, 7 Dec 2000
By andrewn@compuserve.com (Southampton, England) - See all my reviews
Chaucer's middle english is at first confusing but the content is worth the trouble. The good detailed notes and glossary at the end of this edition explain the fourteenth century jokes and references, even if they are not so funny after six hundred or so years. The messages of the Prologue and Tale are however very relevant, showing the problems and contradictions of a woman seeking equality in a male dominated society.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK for GCSE or A/S level, 1 Jun 2001
Prosaic straightforward presentation of text and gloss. Should be enough to get a "B" if you learn it.
