The Canterbury Tales is a vibrant collection of stories that vividly portray medieval life and characters, including Chaucer himself. Composed in English during a time when Latin was the predominant literary language, Chaucer's work is a remarkable achievement. The tales are part of a larger pilgrimage narrative, originally intended to include two stories from each pilgrim in both directions, though Chaucer did not complete this plan. The work has been preserved through handwritten manuscripts, as the printing press was not yet invented.
