Ok maybe not something you’d want to read for fun, but I thought it only appropriate for an English student to write up something I’d read in class.
So we read the prologue in Middle English, which is interesting but hard. You think you’ve got he hang of it and then a few lines later you haven’t got a clue what’s being said. There are plenty of translations out there but I have to do it the hard way.
The Canterbury tales is about a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral. 29 pilgrims travel together and along the way they tell each other stories to win a competition. While I haven’t got to the actual tales, I’ve been introduced to all the pilgrims, from the knight to the nun.
Not much to go on but those 30 pages took me 3 days so I felt the need to write about it. Next we have the Knight!
