The ambition that inspired rapper and MC Baba Brinkman to transpose his performance piece "The Rap Canterbury Tales" to the printed page was a desire to resurrect Chaucer's brilliant stories from their vellum mausoleum into a visible form that would once again delight and edify live audiences. Since Chaucer is an unassailable icon of print culture, and hip-hop is an unassailable icon of contemporary digital cool, he saw this radical new fusion of content and style as the perfect medium to deliver Chaucer's astonishingly timeless message to a younger generation. With both texts reproduced on facing pages, this unique synthesis emerges as one of the most exciting literary documents of our age..
