Decorative endpapers. "The Canterbury Tales Middle English: Tales of Caunterbury2 is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400.3 In 1386 Chaucer became Controller of Customs and Justice of the Peace and in 1389 Clerk of the King's Works.4 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. After a long list of works written earlier in his career including Troilus and Criseyde House of Fame and Parliament of Fowls The Canterbury Tales is near-unanimously seen as Chaucer's magnum opus. He uses the tales and descriptions of its characters to paint an ironic and critical portrait of English society at the time and particularly of the Church. Chaucer's use of such a wide range of classes and types of people was without precedent in English. Although the characters are fictional they still offer a variety of insights into customs and practices of the time. Often such insight leads to a variety of discussions and disagreements among people in the 14th century. For example although various social classes are represented in these stories and all of the pilgrims are on a spiritual quest it is apparent that they are more concerned with worldly things than spiritual. Structurally the collection resembles Boccaccio's Decameron which Chaucer may have read during his first diplomatic mission to Italy in 1372. 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 The Franklin Library hardcover books
