### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Unbeatable
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2010*

The Kindle Penguin edition of THE CANTERBURY TALES in the original Middle English cannot be beaten at the price. Every non-modern word is defined in a note, sometimes at the rate of three definitions a line.Download a sample to see how the lines look. They're quite readable on the Kindle though often they have to be bent in two because of their length. You'll have to trust me that the definitions are good: they are, but you can't get to them on the sample.But for 95 cents, hey. Complete, and with a good introduction. The notes are well-linked and easy to get to once you have the complete etext.A quarter of the book is language notes, word definitions. Another quarter is historical and social notes. These are keyed into the language notes, but you'll have to get to them by using a bookmark in the notes. They're quite thorough and helpful.I'd have bought this edition at ten times the price, like a shot. Fanatical Kindle user that I am, I think the printed text would be slightly easier to handle, but you'd need two bookmarks there, so maybe not.

    Very thick book
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024*

I bought the Penguin Classics version. You will not find a thicker Penguin Classic (maybe War and Peace).This book has 1253 numbered pages (the first pages are in roman numbers). The story ends at page 783. The rest are a ton of notes and a glossary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    good contents, poor binding
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2013*

This version of The Canterbury Tales is fantastic.  It is in the original Middle English so it is mostly understandable.  For words that are significantly different from their Modern English counterparts, it contains not only a glossary in the back, but also picks out some of the more challenging words to gloss as footnotes.  It contains extensive notes in the back that help you understand the references the text makes and the world in which the book was written.The reason this book is a 4 and not a 5 is because of the physicality of the book.  It is the size of a small brick, which is fine, but it is not made out of materials that are particularly durable.  I am careful with my possessions, but ripped the cover on the first day.  I am afraid that since it has so many pages but is not bound well or with a more durable softcover that it will get really beaten up.  Still, the pages are thicker than ultra thin "Bible pages" so I am at least not worried about ripping them.I would highly recommend purchasing this edition over other versions of Canterbury Tales, but be aware that is a particularly fragile softcover.
