Canterbury Tales and Other Poems

“The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer at the end of the 14th century. The tales are told as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from Southwark to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. In a long list of works, including “Troilus and Criseyde”, “House of Fame”, “Parliament of Fowls”, the Canterbury Tales is Chaucer’s magnum opus, and a towering achievement of Western culture.”–Wikipedia
