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.
