    The Canterbury Tales ·         a collection of 24 stories ·         runs to over 17,000 lines ·         written  between 1387 and 1400. ·         The tales are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return. ·         The Canterbury Tales is near-unanimously seen as Chaucer's magnum opus. ·         Structurally, the collection resembles Boccaccio's Decameron. ·         The Canterbury Tales is generally thought to have been incomplete at the end of Chaucer's life. ·         In the General Prologue, some 30 pilgrims are introduced. ·         According to the Prologue, Chaucer's intention was to write four stories from the perspective of each pilgrim, two each on the way to and from their ultimate destination, St. Thomas Becket's shrine (making for a total of about 120 stories). General Prologue The Knight's Tale The Miller's Tale The Reeve's Tale The Cook's Tale The Man of Law's Tale The Wife of Bath's Tale The Friar's Tale The Summoner's Tale The Clerk's Tale The Merchant's Tale The Squire's Tale The Franklin's Tale The Physician's Tale The Pardoner's Tale The Shipman's Tale The Prioress's Tale Sir Thopas' Tale The Tale of Melibee The Monk's Tale The Nun's Priest's Tale The Second Nun's Tale The Canon's Yeoman's Tale The Manciple's Tale The Parson's Tale
