    For my literature exam next year we are studying the prologue of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
    As I know little about it I thought I'd see if any of you know much about it?
    Has anyone read/studied it?

    My brother has, he liked it a lot I think. My favourite part is the one about the nun. :p I probably have to study it for my degree as well so we will both me in the same boat! :)

    Yeah I read it, being an English major...but I looked it up in modern English online. If you don't have to take the test until next year...why don't you just take the time to read it? If you look it up online in modern English, it shouldn't take you that long to get through.

    I had to study it a few years ago and hated it, but then again I've never liked English Literatures, spoiled to many good books.

    At university, I wrote a paper on medieval erotica and used CT as a reference.

    Wish I still had the paper!
