The Canterbury Tales
I and II (video)--An Emmy Award-winning adaptation of
Geoffrey Chaucer’s classic literary work that incorporates
model animation. Volume I includes The Nun’s Priest’s
Tale, The Knight’s Tale and The Wife of Bath’s
Tale; volume II includes The Merchant's Tale, The Pardoner's
Tale and The Franklin's Tale. Part of the multi-volume World
Literary Classics Series. (N.B. Word has
it that this version from Libraryvideo.com is in modern
English. The Sain
Recording Company in Wales lists the dual language
version of the videos (modern and Middle English)
in their on-line catalog. They're available in both PALS
and NTSC format. Be sure to specify which format you want
when ordering them. These seem to be the same videos offered
by Amazon.co.uk but
the Amazon videos are available in PALS format only. Residents
of North America who buy the videos through Amazon.co.uk will
have to have them converted to the NTSC format.)

texts available for purchase at very reasonable prices)
Films for the Humanities and

The Canterbury Tales" on CD-ROM. The best way to
find them is to choose the "Browse by Subject" option on the
home page, click on "English Literature," then scroll down
the catalog page. For some reason the "quick search" box
wouldn't turn up any hits when I tested it with the keyword
"Chaucer.")
