Great purchase!- By: Catfish, 25 Feb 2006 This is a brilliant edition of Chaucer's The Miller's Tale, I find the notes even more helpful than those in the Riverside Chaucer. The annotations are very detailed & scholarly enough to understand Chaucer in a social context, rather than simply in a literary one. Apart from the notes, you will also find an Approaches section, where aspects of the Tale such as theme & characters are covered. This is by far the best edition of The Miller's Tale, & tells you everything concisely rather than sending you off in the references to do your own reading.Superb for students and teachers alike.- By: Joy L. Wetherill, 04 Jun 2004 Containing questions to aid in grasping the plot, & in-depth notes to translate & explain the archaic language & its setting, this edition of The Miller's Tale cannot be ignored as the best in the field. Making study easier, without spoon-feeding the central points, I highly recommend this book.Difficult to read but worth the effort- By: , 16 Aug 2001 Perhaps this is not one of the most exciting books of alll time, it is however a classic. Once you begin reading it in the way that it was intended & you begin to understand the language it is a very entertaining tale. When placed in the context of what Chaucer was trying to achieve The Miller becomes a very risque character & Chaucer brilliantly distances himself from the 'naughty bits' by making The Miller say these bits - as I say it's a struggle at first but entertaining in the end.
