Representing a cross-section of medieval English society, the group includes a knight and his squire, a prioress, a friar, a miller, and a wife. To amuse themselves on their journey, they agree that each will tell a tale. These storiesby turns bawdy, hilarious, scurrilous, romantic, heroic, and movingreveal a great deal about the tellers and the world they live in, which, despite the distance of six hundred years, seems remarkably like our own.

评分标标准准的中世纪英国传世经典,考虑到乔叟个人旅行及阅读其他书籍的来源,其故事灵感很大程度也囊括了当时的欧洲大陆,从附注中看得出其受影响最大的应该是文艺复兴早期的意大利。 本书的背景有点像中国古代的跑江湖,各色江湖人士为了去坎特伯雷大教堂朝圣结伴而行的路上每人...
