description: This is the first edition of The Canterbury Tales that presents Chaucer's poem word for word in modern spelling. It retains the charm of Chaucer's language while eliminating the obstacle of archaic spelling. This text is eminently more readable and accessible, and should encourage rather than deter students to read and appreciate Chaucer.
