Meer over het boek

This modern retelling of a selection from The Canterbury Tales makes Chaucer's classic accessible to contemporary readers. Originally written in Middle English, the tales reflect the vernacular of the late 14th century, which can be challenging for today's audience. The work is celebrated for its role in popularizing English literature, moving away from French and Latin. This adaptation captures the essence of Chaucer's storytelling while using modern language to enhance readability and appreciation.
