    I love how he challenged the idealized images of British social standings. Knights were thought to be immaculately clean and shining above the peasantry even though Chauser shows that they too are just people in dirty worn down armor from use and likewise are victim to fatigue.

    It's wonderful. When I am down with a cold and don't have the energy to sit and read the book, I find your audio visual explanation very refreshing. Thank you so much.

    Anyone else watching this to get an idea and understanding of "The Canterbury Tales" because they can't read Middle English for shit and don't want to fail their British

    Common mistake - Not Thomas A'Becket - Just Becket:
    "an academic from the University of York has scoured the literature and traced the history of the name, from Becket’s birth to the end of the 18th Century.
    The study, published in the journal Open Library of Humanities, pinpoints the change to Thomas a Becket to 1596 and a man called Thomas Nashe, satirist, wit, poet, and Shakespeare collaborator.
    According to the study, the addition of the ‘a’ to Becket’s name is based upon Robin Hood characters such as George a Green and Alan a Dale, which were popular in the 1590s, with the name designed to make Becket into a sort of rustic figure of fun by Protestants.
    Study author, Dr John Jenkins, from the University of York’s Department of History, said Nashe seemed to deploy the rustic ‘a’ to turn Becket into a folkloric figure, hinting at a brawling comedic character as a form of irony, in response to Becket’s saintly legacy. It also pointed to Becket’s supposedly lowly birth.

    Sir Gawain and the Green Knight might help, the vibe of the language is a little easier to adjust to, it was published about the same time and can be read in about 2 hours

    The "translation" into modern English ruins the poetry. You might have also told your viewers who Chaucer actually was. "Poet" alone doesn't begin to describe the man, his high office and remarkable life.
