Tellers, Tales, and Translation argues that Chaucer often recast a coordinating idea or set of concerns in the portraits, prologues, tales, and epilogues that make up a 'Canterbury' performance.

Two features distinguish the Canterbury Tales from other medieval collections of stories: the interplay among the pilgrims and the manner in which the stories fit their narrators. In his new book, Warren Ginsberg argues that Chaucer often linked tellers and tales by recasting a coordinating idea or set of concerns in each of the blocks of text that make up a 'Canterbury' performance. For the Clerk, the idea is transition, for the Merchant it is revision and reticence, for the Miller it is repetition, for the Franklin it is interruption and elision, for the Wife of Bath it is self-authorship, for the Pardoner it is misdirection and subversion. The parts connect because they translate one another. By expressing the same concept differently, the portraits of the pilgrims in the "General Prologue," the introductions and epilogues to the tales they tell, and the tales themselves become intra-lingual translations that begin to act like metaphors. When brought together by readers, they give the ensemble its inner cohesiveness and reveal what Walter Benjamin called modes of meaning. Chaucer also restaged events across his poem. They too become intra-lingual translations. Together with the linking passages that precede and follow a story, these episodes are the ligaments that stabilize the Tales and underwrite its remarkable elasticity. As much as the conceits that frame the work, the pilgrimage and the tale-telling contest, Chaucer's internal translations guided the construction of his masterpiece and the way his audiences have continued to read it.

"Hopper's rendering is as close, as word for word, as any translation of 'The Canterbury Tales'... " —The New Yorker Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1340–1400), penned his masterpiece in a vernacular that was the standard dialect in the southeast of England during his lifetime—a language of rich vitality, but also very different from the English we speak today. This useful volume presents readers with the vigor, liveliness, and humor of Chaucer’s original Middle English poetry, interspersed line-by-line with Professor Vincent Hopper’s modern, graceful, and easy-to-understand translation.This new edition, updated with an enlightening new introduction by Andrew Galloway, also features four newly translated narratives. The Canterbury Tales is among the earliest of the great narrative poems written in the English language. is a set of stories that a diverse group of travelers tell to one another at the end of each day. They had set off by foot on a religious pilgrimage from the Tabard Inn in London to the shrine of St. Thomas à Becket in England’s cathedral town of Canterbury. This volume opens with Chaucer’s own famous Prologue, and then presents the best among those many tales, which demonstrate Chaucer’s skill in portraying a wide range of very different personalities. For instance, we meet the religiously pious but haughty Prioress, the comically bawdy Miller, and the genially earthy Wife of Bath, among many others. Through it all, we are treated to Chaucer’s own voice, which is worldly wise, often ironic, sometimes self-deprecating, and always good-natured. Here in a newly updated edition is an attractive and approachable textbook for students of English literature. It’s also a richly entertaining volume for the enlightened general reader This new edition gives today’s readers an awareness as never before that The Canterbury Tales is one of the great masterpieces of world literature. Continues to offer the benefits of the previous critically acclaimed edition by presenting the original Middle English of Chaucer’s poetry with an elegant, direct, line-by-line and often word-by-word translation. This format gives students and general readers immediate appreciation of Chaucer’s last and greatest narrative poem. Features a new set of up-to-date notes and resources for further study. Four additional key narratives newly translated from Chaucer’s original text respond to the modern reader’s willingness to explore The Canterbury Tales’ brilliantly experimental approach to storytelling. Includes a stimulating new introduction that encourages modern readers to embrace various difficult-to-understand Chaucerian turns of phrase so that they can fully appreciate the fine artistry of Chaucer’s poetic style.

The Canterbury Tales recounts the stories told by pilgrims to one another as they make their way from London to Canterbury Cathedral. This volume contains the introduction to those tales by describing the characters who are embarking upon that pilgrimage.The facing page contains Chaucer's original text as it was written in fourteenth century Middle English. Alongside, there is room in the wide outer margins for students to write their own notes on The General Prologue, or perhaps, to define unfamiliar key words. The reverse side of each page contains a new translation into modern English. The translation into modern English differs only slightly from those found elsewhere. Here, the key difference is that lines are translated separately, thereby avoiding the problem seen in some translations that words are borrowed from adjacent lines to help maintain Chaucer's rhyming structure. Accordingly, this translation adheres more closely to Chaucer's own words; although, in doing so, it may occasionally contain rather more descriptive explanations than is usual in translated works. Nevertheless, this 'word for word' approach will greatly assist those new to Chaucer's middle English.Parents will be pleased that The General Prologue contains no lewdness or vulgarity as can be found in some of the other Canterbury Tales. In this regard, it may appropriately be studied at Middle School level.This volume contains the complete and unabridged text (with line numbers), a helpful translation and a personal study notebook - which means it offers excellent value for money.The translator was educated at St Chad's College Durham, Warwick, Exeter and De Montfort Universities. Lately, he was both a Hardwicke and Sir Thomas More scholar of Lincoln's Inn, London. His publications include works on English law and literature.
