Synopsis:
A collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims traveling from London to the shrine of St Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. Framed as a storytelling contest, the work presents a wide range of voices and social types—knights, clergy, tradespeople, and ordinary travelers—each tale reflecting its teller’s character and values. The tales mix romance, comedy, satire, moral instruction, and bawdy humor, offering a vivid portrait of late medieval English life alongside enduring explorations of love, faith, hypocrisy, and human nature. This Wordsworth Poetry Library edition includes an introduction and bibliography.
