Book Review of The Canterbury Tales (Oxford World's Classics)

The Canterbury Tales (Oxford World's Classics)
nbrett avatar reviewed on


Very easy to read translation, but I wonder how accurate it is. A number of expressions that seem too colloquial in today's world seem to have crept in and I doubt Chaucer would have used them. Will check against the original Middle English which is actually not that hard to understand.
