Q. Do you have a version of The Canterbury Tales in modern English?

Well, I guess that depends on how you define modern. Every generation thinks they have a modern version!

At this time, if you go to http://libcat.hbu.edu (the library catalog) and do a title search for it, we have eight results. Four are digital and four are physical. Of the four digital versions, the EBSCO version from 1998 says it is a modern version.

Two of the four physical versions say they are modern in the title or review.
