A 14th-Century Pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury Shrine

In Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval masterwork, twenty-nine pilgrims gather at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, to embark on a 60-mile journey to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. To pass the time, host Harry Bailly challenges each traveler—including the Knight, the Miller, the Wife of Bath, and the Pardoner—to tell stories along the road.

Written in Middle English (presented here in modern English translation for Penguin Classics), the tales span courtly romance, bawdy fabliaux, moral fables, and religious allegories, presenting an unsparing cross-section of 14th-century English society.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Geoffrey Chaucer combines Middle English satire, social realism, and timeless storytelling. An essential Penguin Classics volume for students of medieval literature, poetry, and English history.
