Chaucer, Geoffrey (1342–1400)
"Dalle Novelle di Canterbury" by Geoffrey Chaucer is a collection of 24 tales written in Middle English in the 14th century. The work follows a group of pilgrims traveling from Southwark to Canterbury to visit Thomas Becket's tomb. To pass time, they hold a storytelling competition. The tales explore diverse themes including courtly love, greed, and betrayal across various genres—romances, sermons, and fables. Though Chaucer intended each pilgrim to tell four stories, he left the collection unfinished at his death in 1400, creating a vivid portrait of medieval society.
