Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Canterbury Tales af Geoffrey Chaucer
A diverse group of travelers on a pilgrimage to Canterbury exchanges an array of tales, including "The Wife of Bath," "The Prioress'' Tale," "The Nun''s Priest Tale," and "The Shipman''s Tale," that paint a vivid picture of fourteenth-century medieval life, society, and values. Reprint. At the Tabard Inn in Southwark, a jovial group of pilgrims assembles, including an unscrupulous Pardoner, a noble-minded Knight, a ribald Miller, the lusty Wife of Bath, and Chaucer himself. As they set out on their journey towards the shrine of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury, each character agrees to tell a tale. The twenty-four tales that follow are by turns learned, fantastic, pious, melancholy and lewd, and together offer an unrivalled glimpse into the mind and spirit of medieval England.
