About this audiobook
Geoffrey Chaucer
Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) is considered to be the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages. He maintained a career in civil service for most of his life, working as a courtier, diplomat, and was even a member of Parliament, however, he is famed for his literary work. Best known for his book The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer normalized the use of Middle English in a time when the respected literary languages were French and Latin, causing a revolutionary impact on literature. Chaucer is regarded as the father of English Literature for his invaluable contributions and innovations to the art.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator is very faithful to Chaucer’s Middle English and annunciates beautifully. The Knight’s tale is one of the greatest and most complex of the Canterbury tales. It richly rewards the reader who takes the time to study it.
