À propos de cet audio

The Knight's Tale of medieval wars and chivalry is the first tale told to the pilgrims as they set out to Canterbury. It concerns Theseus, returning from fighting at Thebes, and two brother knights Palamon and Arcite, imprisoned but yearning for their loves. But the real hero of this recording is Richard Bebb who, with the help of Professor Derek Brewer, the leading expert on Chaucerian pronunciation, make the original Middle English not only comprehensible to the modern ear, but exciting.

I am thankful that such a fine reading in the original Middle English is available. Why do people assume that translations are the preference? Many scholars and students still prefer the original language to learn Middle English and to appreciate the sound and rhythm of the poetry. To me, this recording is a rare diamond hidden amidst the myriad translations—or perhaps I should say the wheat amidst the chaff.

Thanks for the Original
