Book Summary:

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is a landmark of English literature, written in the late 14th century. The book is a collection of stories told by a diverse group of pilgrims journeying from London to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury. To pass the time, the pilgrims agree to tell tales along the way, with each story reflecting the narrator’s personality, class, and worldview. The storytellers include a knight, a miller, a nun, a merchant, and others from different walks of medieval life. Their tales range from romantic and heroic to bawdy and humorous, offering a vivid portrayal of human nature and social issues of the time. Through this rich tapestry of characters and genres—satire, allegory, fable, and romance—Chaucer explores themes like morality, hypocrisy, love, and power, while painting a lively picture of 14th-century English society.

About the Author:

Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343–1400) is often called the Father of English literature and was one of the first writers to demonstrate the literary potential of the English vernacular, rather than Latin or French. Born into a middle-class family in London, Chaucer held various positions in royal service, including that of a courtier, diplomat, and civil servant under three kings. His exposure to different classes, cultures, and languages greatly influenced his writing. While The Canterbury Tales is his most famous work, Chaucer also wrote notable poems such as Troilus and Criseyde and The Book of the Duchess. His writing is celebrated for its wit, realism, and psychological insight, and it laid the foundation for much of modern English literature.
