The "Canterbury Tales" were originally planned to include over 100 stories, but Chaucer completed only 22. The device of using a pilgrimage as a setting for the telling of tales was not uncommon–medieval pilgrims traditionally told stories to liven up the long trek–but Chaucer`s version is infinitely more sophisticated, matching the teller and his tale in a way that greatly enriches the content. This, and the interactions between the pilgrims, give the "Canterbury Tales" the complexity of a good novel. The Tales reflect Chaucer`s wide experience with all levels of English society: the royals, the aristocracy, the clergy, the middle class from which he came, and the lower classes, for whom he invariably shows sympathy and understanding. They are also notable for the dialogue that is set up about marriage, its virtues and liabilities, and the proper role of husband and wife–giving the work a coherent unity and an even greater resonance.

Lynch (English, Rutgers University) collects contemporary and a few classic essays offering critical perspectives on Chaucer`s The Canterbury Tales. The essays have been selected for their accessibility to students and other readers who are not professional medievalists. Essays on critical contexts address topics such as the popular and critical reception of The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer`s reworking of material from Dante and Boccaccio, and feminist perspectives on The Canterbury Tales. The next section presents critical close readings from a number of schools of thought, in areas such as Chaucer`s poetic persona, the narrative voice of The Canterbury Tales, interpretations of individual tales, and religious meanings and contexts of The Canterbury Tales. The book includes a biography of Chaucer, a chronology of his life, and a complete list of works. Annotation 2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
