The Knight's Tale: In a Modern English Version by Simon Webb
'Among the heaps of dead they found by chance two young knights, both pierced with many grievous wounds. They both wore the same coat of arms, richly embroidered: one was a knight called Palamon, the other Arcite. They were neither dead nor alive, but the heralds knew by their coat-armours that they were of the royal blood of Thebes, born of two sisters.'The first and grandest of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, The Knight's Tale is an epic story of love and war, shot through with a compelling dark thread.Simon Webb's prose translation brings out all the richness of the original, and his informative introduction sets the Tale in its legendary and historical context.

The Knight's Tale, by Geoffrey Chaucer. The opening Canterbury Tale is a lengthy and complicated one within the courtly love tradition that is completely alien to most people today. https://t.co/f6ovrGxyyo
