This eBook, available through Project Gutenberg, is a public domain text that allows readers to explore the tales without restrictions. The collection includes a variety of narratives, each reflecting the storyteller's background and personality, ranging from chivalric romances to bawdy comedies. The tales are framed by a general prologue, where Chaucer introduces the pilgrims, each representing different social classes and occupations of the time. The work is notable for its use of Middle English and its innovative narrative structure, which provides insight into the cultural and social dynamics of 14th-century England. The Project Gutenberg edition includes audio readings by various contributors, enhancing the accessibility of Chaucer's work. This edition is part of a broader effort to preserve and disseminate classic literature, ensuring that "The Canterbury Tales" remains a vital part of the literary canon.
- Biographie : Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1340s - 25 Octr 1400) was an English poet, author, and civil servant best known for The Canterbury Tales. He has been called the father of English literature, or, alternatively, the father of English poetry. He was the first writer to be buried in what has since come to be called Poets' Corner, in Westminster Abbey. Chaucer also gained fame as a philosopher and astronomer, composing the scientific A Treatise on the Astrolabe for his 10-year-old son Lewis. He maintained a career in the civil service as a bureaucrat, courtier, diplomat, and member of parliament.
