Binding: contemporary full blue paper boards title in gilt on flat spine spine with gilt ruling and decorative gilt motifs upper board with decorative gilt ruling and gilt central devices. Notes: Canterbury Tales is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400. In 1386 Chaucer became Controller of Customs and Justice of the Peace and in 1389 Clerk of the King's Works. It was during these years that Chaucer began working on his most famous text The Canterbury Tales. 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.<br><br>Geoffrey Chaucer 1340s–1400 was an English poet and author. Widely considered the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages he is best known for The Canterbury Tales. He has been called the "father of English literature" or alternatively the "father of English poetry". He was the first writer to be buried in what has since come to be called Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. Chaucer also gained fame as a philosopher and astronomer composing the scientific A Treatise on the Astrolabe for his 10-year-old son Lewis. He maintained a career in the civil service as a bureaucrat courtier diplomat and member of parliament.<br><br> Size: 8vo. Illustration: Rendered into modern English by J. U.
