This edition includes a selection of fourteen of the most widely read of the Canterbury Tales in the original Middle English, along with the General Prologue and Chaucer’s Retraction, in which he apologizes for the parts of the poem that might lead readers “into synne”. Drawing from the same text as the full Broadview edition of the Tales, this edition also features a critical introduction, marginal glosses in modern English of difficult words, and explanatory footnotes.
