Hi Class!
I hope you have all enjoyed reading the first tale from the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer! I've found out that the author found inspiration in Il Teseida of Boccaccio and the following images which illustrate the Italian work are taken from this site http://www.luminarium.org/medlit/knightimg.htm
Palamon and Arcite in prison
Palamon and Arcite see Emily in the garden
Palamon, Arcite and Emily praying to their gods
Palamon and Emily's marriage
If you click here, you can read and listen to a few lines of the general prologue in Middle English to have a clearer idea of what the language was like in those days.
