If, as has been claimed, The Pardoner's Tale is the best short story ever told, then Winny's expert commentary is an admirable companion to it. Winny sets the tale in historical context and discusses sources as well as Chaucer's poetic devices and literary style. As a result, not only is this matchless tale brought alive but one sees through fresh eyes the genius of the poet telling it. For the first time, I was able to see how Chaucer had carefully fitted each tale to the teller (rather than randomly attribute stories as, for example, Bocaccio did). Only the slimy and sinister Pardoner could have told this tale, and only Chaucer could have put it in his mouth. This Cambridge edition (in fact the whole series) is an excellent window into the poet's work.
