The Canterbury Tales audiobook
by Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343-1400).
Edited by D. Laing Purves (1838-1873).
The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century (two of them in prose, the rest in verse). The tales, some of which are originals and others not, are contained inside a frame tale and told by a group of pilgrims on their way from Southwark to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.
The themes of the tales vary, and include topics such as courtly love, treachery, and avarice. The genres also vary, and include romance, Breton lai, sermon, beast fable, and fabliau. The characters, introduced in the General Prologue of the book, tell tales of great cultural relevance.
The version read here was edited by D. Laing Purves "for popular perusal" and the language is mostly updated.

I was trying to read along but my book is a lil different

[@parisamour13]

Yes, the Canterbury tales can be VERY tedious, especially for highschool students, (I know, I was there), but as a graduate student, I have to say that this story is filled with sooooo much! It’s insane! Misogyny, class, Emelye doesn’t get consent anywhere and she’s super young when the two knights first see her. The way prisoners of war were treated based on their class status....it’s so interesting to learn, I hope you guys have a good teacher to teach more than just summary of the tale.

[@zephyrus1161]

Ok it wouldnt be that bad but this book is so slow even speeder up its at least 2times slower than I'd like

[@jojoinsall8720]

I'm high school student in dual credit learning about english brit all our teacher does Is give us the book and make us write a summary on satire. Hardest thing but ig I have to do it wish it would be more explained

[@parisamour13]

Jojo Insall it’s really hard to break down the stories in the Canterbury Tales without Medieval background, but I can give you some questions I have in my notes from my Grad class & hopefully they help. As far as satire goes, we talked about the “religious” component of the story where they worship gods and such and I believe the knight talks about having fought against pagan kingdoms or so, so one of the questions we posed was “if you remove religion from violence is the knight’s “tale” a critique of violence? Or criticizing the non-distinction of “good” or “bad” violence within the context of conquering for religious purposes or invoking religion. Arcite prays to Mars (hopefully I remember this correctly) to win the battle but Palamoyb prays to win Emelye and while both occur, there is so much violence that leads up to this point it’s hard to see it as a story of valiant courage and romance. & when looking at the Tales, we gathered The Knight’s Tale, The Millers tale, & The Reeves Tale together. & we discussed the satire behind the Knights tale because it deals with trafficking and controlling women’s bodies (Emelye and Hippolita) & the knight is meant to be “Noble” but his story is anything but. & the other two are a little more demonstrative when it comes to discussing the violence against women and the satire behind the people telling the tales

[@rebekahsimmons8353]

I'm in a college class studying Chaucer, and all we talk about is whether or not what we're reading is feminist. Nothing else.

[@parisamour13]

Rebekah Simmons yeah it’s hard if you’re an undergrad :/ because it’s pretty dense and there is SO much more in these stories than just something simple. Grad classes can get deep into one novel if they want to.

It's Wei Wu Wei. You're being forced to do it, so naturally, it sucks. Just approach it from the mindset that there is something good in these texts, and you'll see it's actual quality.
