The Parliament of Fowls

The Parliament of Fowls By Geoffrey Chaucer, in a Modern English Verse Translation

Chaucer's 'Parliament of Fowls' is a story about love, lust, honour, nature . . . and ducks. Simon Webb's highly accessible modern English verse translation conveys the humour and colour of Chaucer's original, and Simon's introduction explains why the poem is now considered to be the work that first introduced the idea of Valentine's Day as we know it. With introduction, glossary and further reading.
