This critical edition of the text brings together for the first time full manuscript variants and the results of recent palaeographical and codicological work on the manuscripts. It differs from earlier editions in attempting to identify textual originality from the quality of variant readings, and in giving grounds, in the analysis of variants, for the identification of the likelier derivative variant.

Ces poèmes du XIVe siècle traduisent la langue des oiseaux, qui possèdent celle secrète des dieux et enseignent ce que les hommes n'entendent pas. Le parlement des oiseaux réunit volatiles et volailles. En ce jour de Saint-Valentin, dans une joyeuse cacophonie, il convient à chacun de trouver sa moitié et de célébrer la fête de l'amour--[Memento].

The Knight's Tale of medieval wars and chivalry is the first tale told to the pilgrims as they set out to Canterbury. It concerns Theseus, returning from fighting at Thebes, two brother knights Palamon and Arcite, imprisoned but yearning for their loves. But the real hero of this recording is Richard Bebb who, with the help of Professor Derek Brewer, the leading expert on Chaucerian pronunciation, make the original Middle English not only comprehensible to the modern ear, but exciting.
