I realise this may be a somewhat esoteric request, but i figured i might as well try it anyway. I'm currently reading some of the canterbury tales, with a translation done by E.T. Donaldson. I'm personally liking the rather raw nature of the translation, which (according the the little preface thingo) is phonetically consistant with middle english. Unfortunately the book i'm reading it in contains only several of the tales, and my university library does not have a more complete version of the same translation (if there even is one? not sure how much of it the guy translated), despite having 35 different entries for the canterbury tales :/. I'd like to read the rest of the tales once i'm done with the few i have right now, so basically what i'm looking for is a recommendation of a similar translation, because i don't really feel like looking at each and every version the library has to pick the best.
