Chaucer, Geoffrey
The prologue to the canterbury tales / Geoffrey Chaucer - - Lahore : New Kitab Mahal, 2003. - 456 p.
A retelling of the medieval poem about a group of travelers on a pilgrimage to Canterbury and the tales they tell each other. With their astonishing diversity of tone and subject matter, The Canterbury Tales have become one of the touchstones of medieval literature. Translated here into modern English, these tales of a motley crowd of pilgrims drawn from all walks of life-from knight to nun, miller to monk-reveal a picture of English life in the fourteenth century that is as robust as it is representative.
Middle Ages -- Poetry.
Christian pilgrims and pilgrimages -- Poetry.
Storytelling -- Poetry.
