The Canterbury Tales is widely considered Chaucer’s
masterpiece. It is a collection of tales told by pilgrims on
their way to the shrine of St Thomas á Becket in
Canterbury. Although Chaucer was presumably familiar
with Boccaccio’s Decameron, from which he borrows
the idea of the collection of tales by different people, the
end result is very different. Chaucer’s pilgrims come
from all classes and areas of society, and he uses the
connecting links between tales, as well as the prologue
with a description of all the pilgrims, to paint a rich
portrait of 14th-century life.
