Chaucer’s magnum opus, The Canterbury Tales is a collection of twenty-four stories composed in prose. Written in Middle English between 1387 and 1400, this text is a revelation in itself. The variety of tales within a single strain of 30 pilgrims staying at an inn takes the reader on a philosophical, spiritual, romantic and an adventurous journey one after the other. The narratives give a plethora of opportunities to travel the many routes which the pilgrims have experienced. The Chaucerian style of expanding the literary horizons have been mastered in this text.
Chaucer wasn’t able to complete the whole plan for the book since the return journey from Canterbury isn’t talked about and some pilgrims do not get to recite their stories. Regardless, this text has stood the test of time and is a compilation of the tales you won’t be able to forget.
