Everything you need to know to read “The Canterbury Tales” - Iseult Gillespie

A portly Miller, barely able to sit on his horse, rambles on about the flighty wife of a crotchety old carpenter and the scholar she takes as her lover. This might sound like a bawdy joke, but it’s part of one of the most esteemed works of English literature ever created: The Canterbury Tales. Iseult Gillespie shares everything you need to know to read Geoffrey Chaucer’s classic collection. Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Anton Bogaty.
