The Wife of Bath | Geoffrey Chaucer

3 posts | 10 read | 4 to read

'Those husbands that I had, Three of them were good and two were bad. The three that I call "good" were rich and old...' One of the most bawdy, entertaining and popular stories from The Canterbury Tales. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1343-1400). Chaucer's works available in Penguin Classics are The Canterbury Tales, Love Visions and Troilus and Criseyde.

The Wife of Bath | Geoffrey Chaucer

so-so

Pretty good with a very simple rhyme scheme which made it quite easy to follow. Very, very outdated though. I suppose that makes it interesting from a historical perspective, but I wasn't real engaged with it at any point.
