The Knight the Miller the Friar the Squire the Prioress the Wife of Bath and others who make up the cast of characters--including Chaucer himself--are real people with human emotions and weaknesses. When it is remembered that Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was the standard literary language across western Europe the magnitude of his achievement is even more remarkable. But Chaucer's genius needs no historical introduction; it bursts forth from every page of <i>The Canterbury Tales.</i>
