5.0 out of 5 stars Chaucer in his original language, 26 Jan 2004

By	Kye van de Silva "Kye van de Silva" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews

A useful single volume of one of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Has a useful introduction and a glossary. If you have to study this and are interested in doing a good job, this is an excellent text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best there is, 2 Oct 2007

By	Rgh1066 "rgh1066" (Monterrey) - See all my reviews

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.
