Geoffrey Chaucer Canterbury Tales - Prologue The Canterbury Tales is one of the landmarks of English literature, perhaps the greatest work produced in Middle English and certainly among the most ambitious. Geoffrey Chaucer - The Canterbury Tales is one of the few works of the English Middle Ages that has had a continuous history of publication. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories in a frame story, between 1387 and 1400. It is the story of a group of thirty people who travel as pilgrims to Canterbury (England). The tales, some of which are originals and others not, are contained inside a frame tale and told by a collection of pilgrims on a pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The canterbury talesare written in Middle English. Although the tales are considered to be his magnum opus, some believe the structure of the tales is indebted to the works of The Decameron, which Chaucer is said to have read on an earlier visit to Italy.

Joke topic or spam bot? Everyone, take your vote. If it's a joke, I do laugh at this. It is a "general tale". |

Admittedly, seeing the smiley face on the post time line of it more or less leads me to believe that it is, unfortunately indeed, a spambot... However, it is, due to the content, a very literate spambot, and therefore I respect it for its learning... Which is why, when I first saw it, I was in a conflict of interests between respect for its scholarliness and doing the usual delete, ban, ban...=| I'm still trying to solve the conflict... |
