Parliament of Fowls: Chaucer's Dream Poem on Partnerships

The Parliament of Fowls by Geoffrey Chaucer is a work I translated originally for my personal use when I was studying English literature. I found that having the book rendered in modern English made it much easier for me to read the book as a whole, without frequent and tedious searching to discover the meaning of words and passages.The Parliament of Fowls was originally in rhyming verse. I have not attempted this, simply tried to convey the meaning as clearly as possible. It consists of a fairly long introduction leading to the section where the birds take centre stage. I would be very pleased if this book proved to be of worth to students of English literature. If you are not a student you may in any case be interested in finding out more about early English writings. This modern English translation will, I trust, make Chaucer's 'Parliament of Fowls' more accessible and convenient.
