2023BIBHB0094084302023. Hardcover. New. About The Book: The Canterbury Tales is a collection of twenty-four stories that runs to over 17000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400. It is widely regarded as Chaucer's magnum opus. The tales mostly written in verse although some are in prose are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return.It has been suggested that the greatest contribution of The Canterbury Tales to English literature was the popularisation of the English vernacular in mainstream literature as opposed to French Italian or Latin. English had however been used as a literary language centuries before Chaucer's time and several of Chaucer's contemporaries John Gower William Langland the Pearl Poet and Julian of Norwich also wrote major literary works in English. It is unclear to what extent Chaucer was seminal in this evolution of literary preference.The Canterbury Tales is generally thought to have been incomplete at the end of Chaucer's life. In the General Prologue some 30 pilgrims are introduced. According to the Prologue Chaucer's intention was to write four stories from the perspective of each pilgrim two each on the way to and from their ultimate destination St. Thomas Becket's shrine making for a total of about 120 stories. Although perhaps incomplete The Canterbury Tales is revered as one of the most important works in English literature.

20029780786194971-2025Blackstone Audiobooks 2002. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Geoffrey Chaucer</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Blackstone Audiobooks</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780786194971</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2002</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The procession that crosses Chaucer's pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry. The Knight the Miller the Friar the Squire the Prioress the Wife of Bath and others who make up the cast of characters -- including Chaucer himself -- are real people with human emotions and weaknesses. When it is remembered that Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was the standard literary language across western Europe the magnitude of his achievement is even more remarkable. But Chaucer's genius needs no historical introduction; it bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales.If we trust the General Prologue Chaucer intended that each pilgrim should tell two tales on the way to Canterbury and two tales on the way back. He never finished his enormous project and even the completed tales were not finally revised. Scholars are uncertain about the order of the tales. As the printing press had yet to be invented when Chaucer wrote his works The Canterbury Tales has been passed down in several handwritten manuscripts.</p> Blackstone Audiobooks hardcover
