The Canterbury Tales

"The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of stories written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century. The tales are told by a group of pilgrims on their way to the shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury. Each pilgrim, who comes from a different social background, agrees to tell two tales on the way to Canterbury and two more on the way back. The tales range from serious to humorous and cover a wide range of topics, including love, religion, and corruption.

The tales include "The Knight's Tale," a romantic story of two knights vying for the love of a woman; "The Miller's Tale," a bawdy story about a carpenter and his unfaithful wife; "The Wife of Bath's Tale," a story about a woman who has had multiple marriages and uses her experience to teach a lesson about marriage; and "The Pardoner's Tale," a story about three men who set out to kill Death but instead find themselves facing their own moral shortcomings.
