The Canterbury Tales

What do stories reveal about who we truly are?

Written in the late fourteenth century, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the greatest works in English literature. Framed as a storytelling contest among pilgrims traveling to Canterbury, the book presents a vivid cross-section of medieval society—knights, clerics, merchants, wives, and rogues—each revealed through their tales.

Blending humor, satire, romance, and moral reflection, Chaucer's stories explore timeless themes of love, power, faith, greed, and human weakness. His sharp observation of character and society gives the work a freshness that still resonates with modern readers.
