In case anyone is trying to learn the correct pronunciation of Chaucer, this is best reading I have heard of the prologue anywhere on youtube. This is the one you should pay attention to.
Thank you so much!!! It has helped me so much!! I'm at F.I.U. taking a Chaucer class (which I never took in high school), and I've been struggling with Middle English. Thank you!!
Mmmm, I'm taking a class on the Canterbury Tales this semester, and we get to read aloud in class, which is always fun. I love the sounds of Middle English.

This sounds SO good...nothing like the illiterate gropings I managed in Chaucer class.

Wow. That Chaucer sure could write. But, could he take the away pitch to the opposite field?

I hear Thomas a Becket had a mean fastball.

See, the scouting system was so poor back then! Today, he'd have been in the majors within two years.
