I have several editions of the Wyf of Bathe, but my favorite is the Bellerophon coloring book. It has the Prologue and tale in Middle English, accompanied by line drawings to color done by Gregory Irons. The pictures include the rape scene, which was probably a first for coloring books.

Sexual politics, religion and history - interesting and easy to read but could use a few explanatory notes on some of the religious / historical references.
LibraryThing member TheCrow2
Despite the old style prose this story form the Canterbury Tales can be read as a progressive even feminist tale from the XIV.c.
