Canterbury Tales

From The Anglish Moot

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 group of pilgrims on their way from Southwark to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas of Becket's at Canterbury Cathedral. The Canterbury Tales are written in Middle English, a time when a great deal of words were coming into English from French. The next great wave of Romanic inbringings to the wordhoard would be in the Renaissance.

The tales were left unfulfilled at Chaucer's death.
