| Summary | "Dalle Novelle di Canterbury" by Geoffrey Chaucer is a collection of stories written in the late 14th century. The work presents a vivid tapestry of medieval society through the voices of various pilgrims traveling to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury. Each character, from the noble knight to the bustling merchant, tells a tale that reflects their unique perspectives and social status, offering insight into the complexities of human experiences and relationships. At the start of the text, a narrator introduces a lively group of pilgrims who have gathered at an inn called the Tabard in Southwark, eager to embark on their journey to Canterbury. The narrator describes their company, beginning with a valiant knight known for his noble deeds and virtues, and continues with a rich array of characters, including his youthful squire, a pious nun, and a roguish monk, each characterized through detailed physical descriptions and social roles. This introduction not only sets the stage for the diverse stories that are to follow but also hints at the interplay between morality and social critique that permeates Chaucer's work.
