you won't get to enjoy it at all that way. I agree that poetry is best enjoyed in it's original language, but even if some of the "poetry" is lost in translation, the stories in the Canterbury tales are still enjoyable regardless.

The only way to read it is in the original. Most of it is poetry.

How can any intelligent person who knows modern English "not manage" Middle English? *NM*

I remember being really surprised by the Canterbury Tales in high school.

I don't associate Penguin Classics with their modern desecrations.

There's much love for the Penguin Classics on my part. It makes my textbooks cost about 10 cents.
