Essential Reading for Students of Medieval Literature The Pardoner's Tale is one of the most interesting of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The tale on its own is a neatly told exemplum on the dangers of greed, but the tale and its prologue also casts a light on one of Chaucer's most interesting characters: the Pardoner himself, and his own love of greed and deception. This edition presents three versions of the General Prologue description of the Pardoner, the Introduction, Prologue and the Tale. The three versions are: Original version in Middle English Dual Middle English and Modern English version - with a line by line translation rather than a parallel prose translation Modern English version There is also a brief introduction to the tale.
