One of "The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written"
The Canterbury Tales is a lively collection of stories told by a diverse group of pilgrims traveling to the shrine of Thomas Becket, each tale reflecting the teller's personality, class, and worldview. Ranging from bawdy fabliaux to moral allegories and courtly romances, the narratives offer a rich cross section of medieval society. Chaucer's wit, irony, and keen observation create a multifaceted exploration of human behavior, desire, and hypocrisy.
