"Containing, an account of its first establishment, building, reedifications, repairs, endowments, benefactions, chapels, altars, shrines, reliques, chauntries, obiits, ornaments, books, jewels, plate, vestments; before the dissolution of the monastery: and the manner of its dissolution. A survey of the present church and cloysters, monuments and inscriptions, with other things remarkable: which, with the several prospects of the church, are engraven by the best hands. The lives of the archbishops, priors, &c. of Christ-Church: with an account of learned men there flourishing in their several times. An appendix of ancient charters and writings relating to the church and monastery. A catalogue of the church-wealth in Prior Estrey's time. An ancient Saxon obituary, and a large one continu'd thence downward."
Drawing from the same text as the complete Broadview edition of the Tales, which is based on the famous Ellesmere Manuscript, this selected edition also features a critical introduction, marginal glosses in modern English of difficult words, and explanatory footnotes. The most widely taught appendix material from the complete edition is included, along with ten illustrations from the Ellesmere Manuscript. The second edition includes a new glossary, a timeline of Chaucer’s life and times, and detailed headers showing the section and line numbers, making it easier to find a specific section of the poem. Several popular prologues and tales have also been added to the selection: The Cook’s Prologue and Tale, The Friar’s Prologue and Tale, The Merchant’s Prologue and Tale, and The Parson’s Prologue.
Students in the Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition class at Alliance High School faced a daunting assignment earlier this year: to write a modern version of Geoffrey Chaucer’s much-loved Canterbury Tales. We decided as a group that our stories would be told by characters in the waiting room of a hospital. Students worked in groups to create characters for the prologue, and then worked individually to write stories (in verse) that those characters might tell. The results can be found on the following pages. We sincerely hope you enjoy our efforts, and we hope that you might be inspired to read or re-read the original Canterbury Tales as a result.
