"Chaucer's fundamental understanding of people and how the human mind works on a day-to-day basis really, really comes through in this piece as he applies his talents to this old Roman story. One of the best, and most ridiculous love stories I've ever read. "

    " We started off the Canterbury Tales course with the House of Fame and the Book of the Duchess. I enjoyed them both, but I'm more partial to the House of Fame "

    " These stories were great! They are entertaining and thoughtful on the surface level, but offer even more as allegories. What's more, the stories are short which makes it easy to pick them up and put them down whenever you have time. "

    " This story is not quite as annoying as Romeo and Juliet, but it is along the same vein. Foolish young love takes a turn for the worse, and the reader is dragged along for the 200-page ride only to meet the inevitable. I did not like Shakespeare's version any better, but at least his was shorter. "

    " If he hadn't written a word of the Canterbury Tales, his reputation would have been made by this courtly tragic romance. "

    " I had to read this for an undergrad English class...From Epic to Romance. This was neither epic, nor was it romantic. More annoying than Romeo and Juliet. Just awful. "

    " At about the same time, I learned that both Shakespeare and Chaucer had tackled the story of Troilus and Cressida. The Chaucer version being (of course) many years older, I decided on it before moving onto Shakespeare's telling. "
