The Canterbury Tales
By Geoffrey Chaucer
Published by The Folio Society: London 1998
With Sleeve

"Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, presented in this 1998 Folio Society edition, stands as one of the cornerstones of English literature. Written in the late 14th century, the work is a vivid collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims journeying from London to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury. Through a rich tapestry of voices — from the bawdy Miller and the worldly Wife of Bath to the devout Parson — Chaucer paints a brilliant portrait of medieval society, exploring themes of love, faith, corruption, and human folly with humour and moral insight. His Middle English verse combines wit and realism with lyrical beauty, setting the foundation for the development of English narrative poetry.

The Folio Society's 1998 edition enhances Chaucer's classic with elegant typography, fine illustrations, and a sturdy slipcase, making it both a readable and collectible volume. Its craftsmanship and scholarly presentation appeal to lovers of classic literature, students of medieval history, and collectors seeking a refined and enduring edition of one of the greatest narrative poems ever written."
