Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

(Use a good annotated version, or this unit will be very, very challenging!)

Librarius offers a good side-by-side version of the book, with a Middle English glossary. This is a supplement only — you need to read it in a book so that you can write in the text.<
