About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator is very faithful to Chaucer’s Middle English and annunciates beautifully. The Knight’s tale is one of the greatest and most complex of the Canterbury tales. It richly rewards the reader who takes the time to study it.
