I thought I would try whispering Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" in Middle English. It includes the first 100 lines (the Introduction of both the Knight and the Squire).

Let me know what you think and maybe I'll do some more!

  • I did my thesis paper for college on the Canterbury Tales . This brought back so many great memories for me. Wonderful reading!

  • @WhisperTonic: I've mostly worked with Malory but did spend some time doing coursework on Chaucer as well. As continue with my doctoral work, I'm trying to find a way to sneak some more Middle English texts in as well. Glad you enjoyed it!

  • You're quite good at that. You can really tell that English is a Germanic language when you speak the older versions. It's really nice.
