Reseña:  The procession that crosses Chaucers pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry. The Knight the Miller the Friar the Squire the Prioress the Wife of Bath and others who make up the cast of characters -- including Chaucer himself -- are real people with human emotions and weaknesses. When it is remembered that Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was the standard literary language across western Europe the magnitude of his achievement is even more remarkable. But Chaucers genius needs no historical introduction it bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales.
