1882 Geoffrey CHAUCER Canterbury Tales Poems Assembly of Foules English Poetry



“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 14th-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 late 19th-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.
