Reviews

Pretty hard to review this book as I read it at school and was constantly analysing it as well as writing essays. However I was surprised how much I liked this book. After doing background research and reading it was quite interesting to read such an old piece of text that had so much humour and irony in it.

Although it has not been the most enjoyable piece of poetry I have read it was defiantly worth it and I am sure some time in the future I pick up Chaucer again and give it ago (even if it's a translated version).

Not sure if it's a mockery or celebration of feminism, but it surely is a taunt to twisted misrepresentations of a religion, and to the misuse of patriarchal power that often comes off of it.
I preferred reading the prologue more, but all in all I think this holds a moderately important place in literature. I might try reading some more of Chaucer or The Canterbury Tales in the future.
