Beyond its importance as a literary work of unvarnished genius, Geoffrey Chaucer�s unfinished epic poem is also one of the most beloved works in the English language�and for good reason: It is lively, absorbing, perceptive, and outrageously funny. But despite the brilliance of Chaucer�s work, the continual evolution of our language has rendered his words unfamiliar to many of us. Esteemed poet, translator, and scholar Burton Raffel�s magnificent new unabridged translation brings Chaucer�s poetry back to life, ensuring that none of the original�s wit, wisdom, or humanity is lost to the modern reader. This Modern Library edition also features an Introduction by the widely influential medievalist and author John Miles Foley that discusses Chaucer�s work as well as his life and times.
