Selected Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
A band of pilgrims traveling to a holy shrine agree to share stories along the road, sparking a lively contest overseen by their host that yields a rich tapestry of comic mischief, courtly romance, moral parables, and biting satire. Through sharply drawn narrators—from a bawdy miller to a pious clerk—each tale mirrors its teller’s station and flaws, exposing hypocrisy and desire while illuminating the customs, conflicts, and beliefs of medieval life.
