Channel: Ancient Literature Dude
Date: 2022-02-07

A Middle English reading of the first part of the raucous and bawdy Miller's Tale, from Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

From Wikipedia: "The Miller's Tale" (Middle English: The Milleres Tale) is the second of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1380s–1390s), told by the drunken miller Robin to "quite" (a Middle English term meaning requite or pay back, in both good and negative ways) "The Knight's Tale". The Miller's Prologue is the first "quite" that occurs in the tales.
