The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

A foundational work of English literature, The Canterbury Tales is a vibrant collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims journeying to Canterbury. Each tale reflects the personality and social class of its teller—ranging from bawdy and humorous to moral and reflective. Written in Middle English in the late 14th century, Chaucer’s work is both a rich portrait of medieval life and a timeless exploration of human nature.
