The Canterbury Tales

內容簡介

內容簡介 《坎特伯雷故事集》是喬叟的代表作，擺脫了中世紀舊時代詩作的脫離現實，矯揉造作的風格，通過塑造三十多個個性鮮明的人物，揭露了僧侶階層的腐朽，嚴肅的考慮婦女問題，反映了當時各色各樣的人的生活和社會的全貌，因此傑弗里·喬叟被認為是英國中世紀文學和文藝復興文學之間承上啟下的人物。Preserving Chaucer’s rhyme and metre, Sheila Fisher’s vivid, lively and readable translation makes the poetic artistry of The Canterbury Tales accessible to a contemporary ear and invites readers, even those who have read the work before in Middle English, to a new appreciation of its delightful stories and unforgettable, surprisingly modern characters.
