CANTERBURY TALES:
AN OVERVIEW
One day in April, the poet comes to the Tabard Inn in the southern suburb of London. By nightfall, 29 pilgrims arrive at the inn and they get ready to go to Canterbury. Harry Bailey, the host of the Tabard Inn, proposes that each pilgrim should tell two stories on the way to Canterbury and two more on the way back. The best story-teller is to be given a free supper, at the cost of all the rest. The host offers to go with them as their judge and guide. According to the plan, there should be 120 stories, but actually 24 tales are finished.

乔叟是第一个突出地运用独白来塑造人物的作家，这种手法的绝妙之处在于不是由人物直接说出自己是什么 样的人，而是让他在独自中往往不知不觉地把自己的本质、性格戏剧性地暴露出来。比如，卖赎罪券教士的卑劣 主要不在于他说出了自己是如何贪婪与无耻，而更在于他对此津津乐道。他不是在悔罪，而是在宣扬。
乔叟不仅创造了戏剧性独白，而且为英国文学引进了许多其它文学体裁。《坎特伯雷故事》堪称文学体裁的 宝库。虽然乔叟的故事集里只有21个完整的故事和另外一些未完成的片段，它们却包括了当时欧洲的大多数文学 体裁，如骑士故事、市井故事、悲剧故事、喜剧故事、传奇、圣徒传、历史传说、宗教奇迹故事、动物寓言、宗 教寓意故事、布道词等等。乔叟把悲剧故事体裁引入英国文学尤其具有特殊意义。

杰弗里·乔叟 英语介绍
❖ 《坎特伯雷故事集》的大部分是以韵诗形式 写成的。
❖ The tales are told as part of a storytelling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from Southwark to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. In a long list of works, including "Troilus and Criseyde", "House of Fame", "Parliament of Fowls", the Canterbury Tales is Chaucer's magnum opus, and a towering achievement of Western culture. By casting a bumbling, credulous version of himself as tour guide, Chaucer created literature's first unreliable narrator. Structurally, the poem bears the influence of The Decameron, which Chaucer is said to have come across during his first diplomatic mission to Italy in 1372. However, Chaucer peoples his tales with 'sondry folk' rather than Boccaccio's fleeing nobles.

Chaucer’s Life
• Born to a middle class family. • His father was a wine merchant who believed his child should have a formal education. • He became a page to an important family and was so respected that when he was captured as a soldier during the Hundred Year’s war, a king paid his ransom. • He died in 1400 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, thus founding the “Poets Corner”.
The prologue provides a framework for the tales. It contains a group of vivid sketches of typical medieval figures. It provides a miniature of the English society of Chaucer’s time.
30 pilgrims in Tabard Inn in spring Two stories each on the way out and two on the way back, but only 24 tales finished (including 4 fragmentary incomplete tales) 30 pilgrims, would be 120 stories. But Chaucer had actually completed only 22 stories, with two more existing in fragments.

• 3. theme--• To praise the fairness and honesty. Different people has their own duty. To criticize the luxury and rottenness. • To support the equality and the honest work.
• (2). 1372-1386. he wrote under the influence of Italian literature. “Troilus and Criseyde”---sing for the love and the individual happiness; oppose the feudal formality and asceticism of the day. • The beginning of the humanism.
• 可是在我叙述故事之前， 让我占用诸位一点时间， 依我之见似乎还很必要， 把每人的情况作些介绍。 谈谈他们从事什么行业， 社会地位属于哪个阶层， 容貌衣着举止又是如何， 那么我就先把骑士说说。
•
骑士的人品出众而且高尚， 自从军以来就驰骋于疆场， 待人彬彬有礼，大度而豪爽， 珍惜荣誉节操和骑士风尚。 为君主效命创辉煌战绩， 所到国家之远无人能比， 转战于基督和异教之邦， 因功勋卓著缕缕受表彰。 他攻打过亚历山大利亚； 在普鲁士庆功宴上有他， 这位佼佼者多次坐首席； 从立陶宛直打到俄罗斯， 同级的骑士都大为逊色； 攻克阿给西勒有他一个， 还出征到过柏尔玛利亚； 夺取烈亚斯和萨塔利亚； 他还多次游弋于地中海， 跟随登陆大军将敌战败。 十五次比武他大显身手， 为捍卫信仰而浴血奋斗； 在战场上三次杀死敌将， 高贵的武士美名传四方
• 他还侍奉过柏拉西亚国君， 讨伐另一支土耳其异教军； 没有一次不赢得最高荣誉， 他骁勇善战，聪慧而不痴愚。 他温柔顺从像个大姑娘， 一生无论是在什么地方， 对谁也没有讲过半个脏字： 堪称一个完美的真骑士。 他有一批俊美的千里马， 但是他的衣着朴实无华； 开价的底下是结识的布衣， 上上下下到处是斑斑污迹。 他风尘仆仆刚从战场归来， 片刻未休息就急忙去朝拜。
那是个初夏方临的日子， 我到泰巴旅店投宿歇息； 怀着一颗虔诚的赤子心， 我准备翌日出发去朝圣。 黄昏前后华灯初上时分， 旅店院里涌入很多客人； 二十九人来自各行各业， 不期而遇都到旅店过夜。 这些香客人人虔心诚意， 次日要骑马去坎特伯雷。 客房与马厩宽敞又洁净， 店主的招待周到而殷勤。 夕阳刚从地平线上消失， 众人同我已经相互结识； 大家约好不等鸡鸣就起床， 迎着熹微晨光干燥把路上。
