Geoffrey Chaucer
• Fourteenth-century English poet and public servant. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote verse renowned for its humor, understanding of human character, and innovations in poetic vocabulary and meter. His masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales (1387-1400), tells the tale of English people on a pilgrimage to Saint Thomas à Becket’s shrine at Canterbury. The pilgrims emerge as complex characters through the stories they tell and through their interactions, which serve as transitions between the different tales. This excerpt from the Tales comes from “The General Prologue,” in which Chaucer introduces the characters and establishes the framework of the poem. •
