Everything you need to know to read “The Canterbury Tales” - Iseult Gillespie

Although Mid English I can see some of the same things going on in our lives today

I think the Casa Bonita episode of South Park was heavily inspired by the Miller's Tale.

WTF

This is the Panchatantra of English language

This is my go-to book when things in real life get challenging. So much fun. 😊

Chaucer was never meant to be literature it was meant to be hilarious and irreverent

Nope

Can you please do video about literary criticism

manciple, not “mancible”

Oh so he wrote a choose your own adventure novel how nice

Deh good video

I would love to see you give this treatment to 'the curious incident of the dog in the night-time'. The way the book is written alone will make for some great visuals.

It just like most D&D sessions i been on , start off in a inn , on a quest for relics , and fighting bandits and telling back stories

You left out the antisemitism, but hen everybody was antisemitic in Chaucer's lifetime.

Next time, if you could do The Prince by Macchiavelli, that would be a really nice video to watch.

ok but you should've mentioned that the tales kept hanging because He died

If studying can be this interesting i woulve scored full !!!😭

This introduces Canterbuty tales very clearly and briefly. Can I use this in a middle school English class in South Korea? It'll be a great help to the students. Thanks!

just went to Canterbury today. :)

berries and cream

This makes the book sound so much more interesting than it actually is

The Miller's Tale is definitely one of the best. I've just finished recording a reading of it in Middle English, and have a reading of the complete General Prologue on my channel that has been well-received, if anyone is interested in hearing the Tales in their original language.

Adultery 😨😱.

Literature, my life blood, read a book people!!!🙏👍😎

i dont have the patience to read chaucer

Watched this in my English lesson today at school all of the class was laughing

My brain stopped functioning at "hot poker"bit

Chaucer was an unexpected delight when I read it as a first year university student. Such a fun read.

its beautiful. thank you.

Mom i want the decameron
But we have the decameron at home
The decameron:

who else is watching for school lol-

Thif crazy alphabet makef no fenfe whatfoever.

Midsummer Night's Dream takes place during during The Knight's Tale, the Philostrate character gives it away.

😊

Love the narrator's voice

My English teacher sent me a link to watch this

I just know that it's a cheap copy of Boccaccio's Decameron and that's good enough for me

And hi if my mates see this

Why miss

At 1st I thought Ringo Starr was the narrator.

I don't want to be picky, because I enjoyed the video, but it marches almost right up to the point but fails to make it, that the Canterbury Tales is also a library of medieval literary forms. That's kind of important, I've always thought.

I've read them over and over. Great stories

I do not quiet remember a story The Canterbury Tales. With literature being influence. Written works, especially those considered of superior or lasting artistic merit. Take away's of this book class of feudalism.

Appreciate that the illustrator is the same as the troll face quest videogame series
