It examines the social diversity of Chaucer's pilgrims, the stylistic range of their tales and the psychological richness of their interaction. The volume offers students a clear image of the powerful representation of the social reality that makes the Canterbury Tales one of the most important texts in English literature. Emphasis is placed on the language of the poem, the place of Chaucer in subsequent literary tradition, and an entire chapter is devoted to the General Prologue which is widely studied on undergraduate courses. Finally, the volume offers a helpful chronology of the period and an invaluable guide to further reading. 410 0$aLandmarks of world literature. 517 3 $aCanterbury tales 517 1 $aChaucer :$ethe Canterbury tales 606 $aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature 606 $aTales, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature. 615 0$aTales, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a821/.1 700 $aWetherbee$b Winthrop$f1938-$0202752 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457673003321 996 $aGeoffrey Chaucer$92491863 997 $aUNINA
