The Canterbury Tales

Chaucer�s magnum opus, <I>The Canterbury Tales</I> is a collection of twenty-four stories composed in prose. Written in Middle English between 1387 and 1400, this text is a revelation in itself. The variety of tales within a single strain of 30 pilgrims staying at an inn takes the reader on a philosophical, spiritual, romantic and an adventurous journey one after the other. The narratives give a plethora of opportunities to travel the many routes which the pilgrims have experienced. The Chaucerian style of expanding theiterary horizons have been mastered in this text.<br><br> Chaucer wasn�t able to complete the whole plan for the book since the return journey from Canterbury isn�t talked about and some pilgrims do not get to recite their stories. Regardless, this text has stood the test of time and is a compilation of the tales you won�t be able to forget.
