Read for British Literature.

Genuinely very fun and humorous, if hard to keep up with at some points.

Read for uni. I did not understand this enough to actually enjoy it. It was difficult enough to wrap my head around what was going on to actually understand the humour of it, unfortunately. Hopefully it will become clearer when we have seminars and will discuss it.

I liked the story itself, really explicit for the time and pretty fun. Chaucer's satire is really interesting to dissect. However, ye olde English is really hard to read; so I had to read through several sections several times over to find the humor and understand what was going on.
