A quick question: Who here has read The Canterbury Tales as part of required reading for their English classes? I would like to know, just out of curiosity, if anyone here has.
Read 'The Franklin's Tale' for A-level when I was 18. It didn't make me want to read any more but I liked all the ways you can see from it the language has changed since then and I still love the Chaucer-era pronounciation of 'Knight'.
