The Canterbury Tales, and Other Poems

Credits: Geoffrey Chaucer (author)

Summary

A company of pilgrims riding from London to Canterbury pass the road with a storytelling contest, and the Knight, the Miller, the Wife of Bath, the Pardoner and the rest each tell a tale that gives them away. This edition, with Chaucer's spelling and a gloss in the margin, adds his dream poems and Troilus and Cressida. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
