The House of Fame

Geoffrey Chaucer’s House of Fame offers a surreal dream journey to the palace of Fame, guided by a comically talkative eagle. The narrative also includes a visit to the House of Rumour, showcasing Chaucer's unique blend of humor and vivid imagery. Simon Webb’s modern English verse translation makes the text accessible while retaining its charm, and his introduction provides context that highlights its significance alongside the Canterbury Tales. The audiobook includes a glossary and bibliography for further exploration.
