The Merchant’s Prologue and Tale

A knight of sixty marries a girl of twenty and builds a walled garden for what he has bought; a squire, a god, a goddess and a pear tree see to the rest. Chaucer’s bitterest comedy is the Eduqas pre-1900 poetry set text, and this site is built for studying it: the complete poem glossed where you need it, its themes and characters argued through, the contexts that made it, the critics who have quarrelled over it, and the exam it all points at.
