The Wife Of Bath - Marion Turner THE NOT OLD BETTER SHOW, SMITHSONIAN ASSOCIATES INTERVIEW SERIES Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates  Author Interview series on radio and podcast.  I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's show is part of our Smithsonian Associates author interview series, and we have an excellent program about Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the Wife of Bath. As a matter of fact, we're listening to the Smithsonian Folkways recording of Chaucer's Wife of Bath poem, which has been described by many scholars, including our guest today, as "some of the finest poetry produced in the English language prior to Shakespeare." Thank you so much for listening. As I say, we've got a great guest today, who, after reading her new book, I've been looking forward to for a while and whom I'll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 684th episode, when I spoke with Smithsonian Associate, Katie Hickman about her new book, "Brave Hearted: The Women of the American West."  Two weeks ago I spoke with Mo Nard, pickleball pro, National Champion, about her new book Pickleball for Dummies.  Wonderful holiday and New Year's relevant shows…If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you there on our website, NotOld-Better.com…and if you leave a review, we will read it at the end of each show…leave reviews on Apple Podcasts for us. I mentioned we are listening to the Smithsonian Folkways recording of Chaucer's Wife of Bath poem, read by Old English poet Charles W. Dunn, Scottish scholar and author.
