《坎特伯雷故事》是一部诗体故事集,大部分以韵诗形式写成。全书收有一篇总引和二十三篇故事,其中散文两篇,其余都是诗体。讲述了一群香客到坎特伯雷城去朝圣的路上,为解闷而各人所说的奇异故事。这群人来自社会各阶层,有教士、武士、修女、大学生、工匠等等,他们的故事也广泛地反映了当时的社会风貌。作品和幽默和讽刺为基调,刻画了不同阶层的人物,讽刺封建社会的丑恶,揭露社会的腐朽,反对禁欲主义,宣扬世俗享乐。其间以短小的戏剧场面串连,故事的内容和文体各异,并符合每一个讲述者的身份。作品生动地描绘了十四世纪英国的社会生活,体现了反封建倾向和人文主义思想。

In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook.
作者简介
Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1343-1400) was an English author, poet, philosopher, bureaucrat courtier and diplomat. Sometimes called the father of English literature, Chaucer is credited by some scholars as being the first author to demonstrate the artistic legitimacy of the vernacular English language, rather than French or Latin. He wrote many works but is best know for The Canterbury Tales.
杰弗雷·乔叟(GeoffreyChaucerl340—1400)是中世纪英国的一位最杰出的诗人。他在英国文学史上的地位则相当于但丁在意大利文学史上的地位。自从一。六六年诺曼人征服英国以后,英国存在着用三种语言创作的文学:僧院文学使用拉丁文;骑士诗歌多用法语;民间歌谣则用英语。乔叟是第一个奠定英国新的文学语言的始祖,所以通常被称为“英国诗歌之父”。他是后来十五世纪末叶直到十七世纪四十年代以莎士比亚为代表的英国文艺复兴的奠基人,也是英国诗歌从民间歌谣进一步发展的创始者。
精彩书评
'Written in a lucid and elegant style, Wetherbee's book has lost nothing of its worth during the fifteen years that have elapsed since it was first published. It provides a useful and thought-provoking commentary to the Tales not only for university students or general readers but also for specialists.' --Anglia
