What reading level is The Evolution of the Canterbury Tales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It stands second among tho seven MSS. Selected and printed by tho Chaucer Society. An examination of its contents shows thnt it is unique, not only in the arrangement of tho Tales biit in particulars relating to tho Tales themselves.
I belie vo it can bo explnined as showing tho Tales in their ohlest known condition. It represents, so to speiik, a form of them in which tho idea of arrangement was quite imperfect ; and it was written out, prolmbly with a view to future use, as a sort of working ...copy. In fact, Dr. Furnivall noted, in 18^8, that it is "tho least liandRomo of our six MSS. , the least formally written. " Hut it may be a lute copy of a MS. Of a similar kind. We should naturally expect it to be incomplete ; and indeed, its omissions are significant.
I suppose fow remarks have been nioie frequently made than tins, viz. That the idea of tho (^'anon's Yeomnn was an after- thought. There is no hint of his existence in the General Pr(»logne; and the idea of inserting him among tho rest did not occur to the author till he had made considerable progress with his work.
