What sort of stories were collected by the Canterbury Tales written by Geoffrey Chaucer?
Correct Answer: Travellers’ stories
The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century, is a collection of travellers' stories told by a group of pilgrims on their way to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.
The tales vary widely in genre and tone — from comic to tragic, romantic to religious. The work is celebrated as one of the earliest and greatest pieces of English literature, and Chaucer is often called the "Father of English literature".
