Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales

"Now as I have drunk a draught of corn-ripe ale, by God it stands to reason I can strike on some good story that you all will like."

In the @the_canterburytales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories, and low farce. A story-telling competition within a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook. Rich and diverse, #thecanterburytales offers us an unrivaled glimpse into the life and mind of medieval English.
