Group to Discuss "The Canterbury Tales" on Monday, September 22d

Our next meeting will take place on Monday, September 22d, in the Village Library Meeting Room, at 7 p.m. We'll discuss several of the "Canterbury Tales," by Geoffrey Chaucer (ca. 1340-1400), the towering figure of English literature before Shakespeare. By turns pious, romantic, and bawdy, these tales reward readers with their humor and insight. Our selection this month includes the "Wife of Bath's Tale" (and its famous prologue in which she discourses on her five marriages) and the "Clerk's Tale."
