Pilgrims riding to Canterbury agree to pass the time with stories, and Geoffrey Chaucer uses that simple frame to assemble one of the great surveys of medieval English life.
The tales range from romance and beast fable to bawdy comedy and sermon, each shaped by the character telling it, so the collection doubles as a portrait gallery of trades, ranks and temperaments. This deluxe hardbound edition presents the work in a sturdy, decorative binding intended for display as well as reading, which makes it a practical gift copy.
Key features of this edition:
• Chaucer's linked story collection framed as a pilgrimage
• Tales that shift in tone from courtly romance to broad comedy
• A hardbound presentation built for shelf display and gifting
• A cornerstone text for anyone reading medieval English literature
Suited to literature students, gift buyers and collectors of hardbound classics, available from Boipoka.
