Detailed explanation-1: -The Canterbury Tales (Middle English: Tales of Caunterbury) is a collection of twenty-four stories that runs to over 17, 000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400. It is widely regarded as Chaucer’s magnum opus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Poetic Style The majority of The Canterbury Tales is written in verse, meaning that poetic elements such as a particular rhythm and rhyme pattern are utilized. Chaucer wrote his verse with lines that contain ten syllables and often had rhyming pairs of lines called couplets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chaucer’s great achievement was to establish English as a major literary language, and his poetry has been loved for generations for its humanity and humour.
Detailed explanation-4: -Social Class. One present theme throughout The Canterbury Tales is the importance of social status during Chaucer’s time. For example, the Prioress and the Parson are opposite characters in their regard for social status. The Parson is more concerned with his religious devotion than his class.
Detailed explanation-5: -Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales is a frame narrative, a tale in which a larger story contains, or frames, many other stories. In frame narratives, the frame story functions primarily to create a reason for someone to tell the other stories; the frame story doesn’t usually have much plot of its own.
