Is there a nice (preferably illustrated) edition of the Cant

I guess this board is completely useless when it comes to asking real questions. Guess I'll do what everyone else is doing and go masturbate to Pynchon or something.

Just buy the Riverside Chaucer and read the original, you autist.

I have the norton critical which is middle but each line has the words you might not know. Was enough to give me a lol at the millers tale.

does it say vagina all spelled out :o

My favorite part is when he thinks he's kissing his girlfriend's mouth, it turns out to be some guy's butthole.

It's not even old english, you fucking cunt. Besides, Chaucer ' s dialect is piss-easy to understand, and at the worst you'll have to Google a word.

"Old English is literally like"

Oft him anhaga are gebideð,
metudes miltse, þeah þe he modcearig
geond lagulade longe sceolde
4 hreran mid hondum hrimcealde sæ
wadan wræclastas. Wyrd bið ful aræd!


Swa cwæð eardstapa, earfeþa gemyndig,
wraþra wælsleahta, winemæga hryre:

Kek, fucked up parsing that slightly, but you get the idea.

>>8341948
>"Old" English
>thinking learning a language is somehow a bad thing
>even though he asks for the ME text in the OP

Literrally end yourself, you waste of space.

You can't be for real. Read that shit when I was 15 and it was general to infer the gist of it, only occasionally needed to search a word up

>>8341948
>asks for a very specific recommendation but gets annoyed when it isn't answered in the next twenty minutes

I'd have called you an autist too, man.

No it's just not going to spoonfeed you shit you could find out on your own.
