As they ride together, they reveal themselves through the tales they choose to tell and the ways they interrupt, mock, challenge, and expose one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in Middle English in the late fourteenth century, \u003cem\u003eThe Canterbury Tales\u003c\/em\u003e brings together romance, comedy, sermon, beast fable, saint's life, fabliau, tragedy, and sharp social observation. Chaucer's genius lies not only in the stories themselves, but in the voices behind them. The pilgrims become a moving portrait of medieval society: devout and corrupt, noble and ridiculous, tender and cruel, worldly and spiritual, all caught in the act of telling stories to make sense of themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders interested in classic literature, medieval poetry, English literary history, satire, pilgrimage, storytelling, and the roots of English fiction will find \u003cem\u003eThe Canterbury Tales\u003c\/em\u003e essential. It remains a living work because its people still feel recognizable: vain, generous, lustful, pious, greedy, clever, foolish, frightened, and endlessly talkative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 514\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426595274819,"sku":"9781515428626","price":51.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/canterbury-tales-hardcover-1","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
