The Canterbury Tales are a deal of tales written by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400. The tales are held inside a frame tale and told by a gang of wayfarers on their way from Southwark to Canterbury to beseech the holy stead of hallowed Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The Canterbury Tales are written in Middle English, in an eld when many words came into English from French. The next great wave of Romish inbringings to the wordhoard would be in the Renaissance.
The tales were left unfulfilled at Chaucer's death.
