Professor Murphy inflicted Chaucer on students for 30 years in old spelling. Retired and repentant, he now offers a reader-friendly version of two great classics in Chaucer’s original words, but in modern spelling, which makes reading Chaucer easier and more enjoyable. Since Chaucer is a great comic writer, reasonable speed in reading is crucial for enjoyment.
This is NOT a translation.
In addition, for those who are still compelled to read the old-spelling for classwork, we have provided an Audiogloss for some of the Canterbury Tales. Listen to it while you read the old-spelling text. It will explain itself. Many find it very helpful.
