It was written in verse form and in Middle English in the original, which would be difficult for modern readers to decipher easily.
However, excellent translations have now made the text accessible to us.
What sets The Canterbury Tales apart from other works during the period is that Chaucer preferred to use English rather than Latin which was considered to be the language of sophistication.
This one decision made all the difference as people all over England soon began to use their native tongue to express themselves in prose and poetry.
This is perhaps the first road trip genre of writing in English and is replete with wonderful, ironic, sharp and witty descriptions of the characters and Chaucer’s unerring eye for details allows the reader to instantly visualize the people he’s describing.
The Knight, The Wife of Bath, The Prioress and The Miller are some of the colorful travelers.
The book is an interesting document regarding history, social customs, the medieval concept of courtly love the emphasis on companionship and cooperation while traveling, the role of the church
and the prevailing corruption and romantic ideals of the time.
For both casual readers and those interested in the history of English literature, The Canterbury Tales is an invaluable mine of information
