“If gold rusts, what then can iron do?”

― Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales

‘The Canterbury Tales’ is one of the most famous pieces of early English literature, written during the end of the 14^th-century. Written by Geoffrey Chaucer, this book is a collection of short stories told from the perspective of traveling pilgrims on their way to Canterbury from London. Chaucer paints an accurate portrayal of English society during the time, as well as customs and social practices.

This 19^th-century printing of the poems of Chaucer includes, of course, ‘Canterbury Tales’, but also features works such as ‘Cuckow and Nightgale’, ‘Assembly of Foules’, and other lesser-known poems. Textual notes provided by Thomas Wright.
