Many students have asked me if there are recordings of Middle English readings available. Here are some links to on-line recordings.

  • Teach Yourself to Read Chaucer's Middle English (Harvard Chaucer Site): On-line tutorial on the late fourteenth-century London variety of Middle English used by Chaucer. Still helpful for learning to read other varieties of Middle English and for gaining familiarity with sound and spelling correspondences.
  • Chris Baugh's Medieval English Narrator Site (University of Vermont): Extracts from numerous medieval English texts with some explanatory material and sound recordings. The section on romances is especially useful (click here to go to the table of contents).
  • Chaucer Studio: Commercial producer of audio and video recordings of Chaucer and other Middle English poets. There are numerous samples on-line and information for ordering products.
