Canterbury Tales: Prologue

I found a pretty good recording of the first 18 lines of the prologue of the Canterbury Tales, so I figured I'd post the site on here. The link is http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~chaucer/gp1-18.wav. It's Middle English, so it's definitely helpful to have a copy of the text in front of you (otherwise it's kind of hard to understand). Good luck memorizing!

I found another good Canterbury Tales website

http://www.luminarium.org/medlit/chaucessays.htm

It has scholarly essays on the prologue and nearly all, if not all, of the characters and their tales.
