“If gold rusts, what then can iron

― Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury
Tales
‘The Canterbury Tales’ is one of the most famous pieces of early
English literature, written during the end of the 14th-century.
Written by Geoffrey Chaucer, this book is a collection of short stories told
from the perspective of traveling pilgrims on their way to Canterbury from
London. Chaucer paints an accurate portrayal of English society during the
time, as well as customs and social practices. Many of the famous tales have
appeared in film, theatre, and other media forms such as ‘The Knight’s Tale,’ ‘The
Physician’s Tale,’ and ‘The Plowman’s
Tale.’
This printing of Chaucer’s famous works was collected and edited by
Charles Cowden Clarke who modernized the English for 19th-century
readers.
