    About this audiobook

    It has been said that no translation, however studied and skilfull, can do justice to the genius of Chaucer’s writing.

    This work is therefore in the Middle English allowing all of us to at least sample the energy and vitality of Chaucer’s phrasing and appreciate an even more vivid recreation of his characters.

    Robert Ross, whilst not a scholar, has the advantage of being a fine actor able to convey and interpret the richness of the language and the mastery of Chaucer’s verse.

    Author

    Geoffrey Chaucer

    Often referred to as the father of English poetry, Geoffrey Chaucer was a fourteenth-century philosopher, alchemist, astrologer, bureaucrat, diplomat, and author of many significant poems. Chaucer’s writing was influential in English literary tradition, as it introduced new rhyming schemes and helped develop the vernacular tradition—the use of everyday English—rather than the literary French and Latin, which were common in written works of the time. Chaucer’s best-known—and most imitated—works include The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, The Book of the Duchess, and The House of Fame.
