As I am studying this for uni, I did not read the entirety of this book due to time constraints. I did read the following however:

General Prologue
The Knight's Tale
The Miller's Tale
The Clerk's Tale
The Wife of Bath's Tale
The Franklin's Tale

I had varying opinions on each of these texts, but definitely found the discussions of marriage interesting given that I only knew of the Pardoner's Tale prior to owning the Norton edition.

Commendable references and annotations are added to this edition which I support as I begin my upcoming essay.
