The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer | The Miller's Tale

The Miller's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, presented in its complete original Middle English verse translation with proper rhyming couplets preserved for authentic medieval poetry experience. This bawdy and hilarious fabliau tells the story of an old carpenter John, his young wife Alison, the clever student Nicholas, and the lovesick parish clerk Absalon in a tale of trickery, adultery, and comic revenge set in Oxford. The Miller interrupts the orderly storytelling contest to deliver this raucous response to the Knight's refined romance, featuring one of literature's most famous pranks involving a fake flood prophecy, a misdirected kiss in the darkness, and a red-hot poker wielded in revenge. This recording maintains Chaucer's brilliant use of irony, wordplay, and social satire while showcasing the contrast between courtly romance and crude comedy that makes The Canterbury Tales a masterpiece of English literature. Perfect for students studying medieval literature, AP Literature exam preparation, college English courses, or anyone interested in classic British literature, ribald medieval humor, and the origins of English storytelling. The tale demonstrates Chaucer's genius in capturing human nature, social class tensions, and the gap between religious piety and earthly desires in fourteenth-century England. Ideal for understanding frame narratives, the fabliau genre, medieval social commentary, and Chaucer's revolutionary use of Middle English vernacular in serious literature. #CanterburyTales #MillersTale #GeoffreyChaucer #MedievalLiterature #EnglishLiterature #ClassicLiterature #BritishLiterature #MiddleEnglish #ChaucerStudies #LiteratureAnalysis #APLiterature #CollegeEnglish #MedievalPoetry #FourteenthCentury #LiteraryStudies #BookAnalysis #ClassicBooks #EnglishStudies #MedievalHistory #LiteratureEducation #AcademicLiterature #StudyGuide #LiteratureSummary #Fabliau #MedievalComedy #OxfordLiterature #ChaucerAnalysis #RhymingCouplets #MiddleEnglishPoetry #LiteraryHistory #WesternLiterature #EnglishCanon #UniversityLiterature #HighSchoolEnglish #LiteratureStudent #EducationalContent #BookReading #PoetrySummary #MedievalStories #ChaucerTales #LiteraryAnalysis #EnglishMajor #HumanitiesEducation #LiteratureClass #MedievalEngland #SocialSatire #ComedyInLiterature #ClassicPoetry #AudioBook
