What is The selected Canterbury tales : a new verse translation about?
<p class=null1>A truly remarkable achievement. -Barry Unsworth</p><p>In the tradition of Seamus Heaneyâs <b>Beowulf</b> and Marie Borroffâs <b>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</b>, Sheila Fisherâs <b>The Selected Canterbury Tales</b> is a vivid, lively, and readable translation of the most famous work of Englandâs premier medieval poet. Preserving Chaucerâs rhyme and meter, Fisher makes these tales accessible to a contemporary ear while inviting readers to the Middle English original on facing pages. Her informative introduction highlights Chaucerâs artistic originality in his memorable portrayals of surprisingly modern women and men from across the spectrum of medieval society.</p>
