maenad_wordsmith 's review for:

Troilus and Criseyde by Geoffrey Chaucer

---

I not only love this book, but I also love the fact that I've retained the ability to read Middle English (it's been...a few years). Middle English is beautiful in a polysemic way that modern English often isn't (due to nailing down words with standardized spellings and dictionary definitions rather than opening them up to more significations, perhaps through the etymological flexibility of Medieval writing).
