This was the major literary effort of Geoffrey Chaucer and the most important piece of English literature before the plays of Shakespeare. Chaucer died in 1400. It was constructed as a series of stories, each one told by a member of a group of pilgrims on their way from London to Canterbury to venerate the tomb of the martyr St. Thomas Becket, who was assassinated in his cathedral of Canterbury in 1170.
