EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Geoffrey Chaucer, the renowned English poet and author, in the midst of sharing one of his famous tales while on horseback during a pilgrimage to Canterbury in 1387. The Canons Yeoman, depicted here, listens intently as Chaucer relates the story, his full attention focused on the words of the master storyteller. Chaucer, dressed in the attire of a yeoman, or commoner, with a simple tunic, hose, and a cloak draped over his shoulders, holds a book in his left hand, likely containing one of his works. His right hand rests on the pommel of his saddle, and he wears a pair of spurs on his boots, ready to continue his journey at a moment's notice. The backdrop of the scene is the bustling city of Canterbury, with its impressive cathedral and various structures that would have been familiar to Chaucer and his contemporaries. The image, published in the late 19th or early 20th century, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Chaucer's tales and his status as a literary icon. The Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories that Chaucer is believed to have written, were some of the first works in the English language to be considered great literature. The tales, which include a diverse range of characters and stories, are renowned for their wit, humor, and insight into medieval life. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when stories were shared orally and the written word was a precious commodity. It serves as a reminder of Chaucer's significant contribution to English literature and the enduring power of storytelling.
