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

The Reeve's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, presented in complete original Middle English verse translation with rhyming couplets preserved for authentic medieval poetry experience. This bawdy fabliau serves as the Reeve's bitter revenge against the Miller for his tale mocking carpenters. Set at Trumpington near Cambridge, the tale features Simpkin the Swagger, a dishonest and violent miller who robs students from the nearby college, and two clever Cambridge clerks named John and Alan who devise an elaborate plan to reclaim what was stolen from them. When their horse is released and they must stay overnight at the miller's house, the students take their revenge through trickery involving a moved cradle, the miller's wife and daughter, and a chaotic nighttime bedroom farce that ends in violence and humiliation for the proud miller. The tale showcases Chaucer's masterful use of Northern English dialect for the students, social satire targeting dishonest tradesmen and pretentious families, and the medieval principle of legal recompense through clever deception. This recording demonstrates the tradition of tale-telling as personal combat within The Canterbury Tales frame narrative, illustrating how the pilgrims respond to and attack each other through their stories. Perfect for students studying medieval literature, fabliau genre, regional dialects in Middle English, social class conflicts in fourteenth-century England, and the dynamics of the Canterbury pilgrimage storytelling contest. #CanterburyTales #ReevesTale #GeoffreyChaucer #MedievalLiterature #EnglishLiterature #ClassicLiterature #BritishLiterature #MiddleEnglish #ChaucerStudies #LiteratureAnalysis #APLiterature #CollegeEnglish #MedievalPoetry #FourteenthCentury #LiteraryStudies #BookAnalysis #ClassicBooks #EnglishStudies #MedievalHistory #LiteratureEducation #AcademicLiterature #StudyGuide #LiteratureSummary #Fabliau #MedievalComedy #CambridgeLiterature #ChaucerAnalysis #RhymingCouplets #MiddleEnglishPoetry #LiteraryHistory #WesternLiterature #EnglishCanon #UniversityLiterature #HighSchoolEnglish #LiteratureStudent #EducationalContent #BookReading #PoetrySummary #MedievalStories #ChaucerTales #LiteraryAnalysis #EnglishMajor #HumanitiesEducation #LiteratureClass #MedievalEngland #SocialSatire #RevengeStory #FrameNarrative #AudioBook
