Ghastly medieval pun of the day
Courtesy, as always, of Maister Chaucer. (One of these days, I will stop linking to every one of his posts. This is not that day.)
Our Geoffrey is currently designing a collection of tales for the entertainment of all and sundry. (It shall be designed as a series of fragments, he tells us, because he "[troweth] that a worke in ‘fragmentz’ shall appeale to Vmberto Eco.") Today, he shares his notes on this collection with us. Fragment 1 is projected to include the following story:
-The Milleres prolog and Tale: whatte Adam Pinkhurste did vnto me bifor I fired hys ass– chaunge names and occupaciouns – absolvtely fabliaux
Augh, Chaucer, it burns.
