Details

Ace your class with the help of CliffsNotes® To Go for Apple handheld devices. The brand you trust for fast, effective, and comprehensive literature review has been reinvented for the small screen to give you anywhere, anytime access to character, theme and plot summaries and analysis; interactive quiz features; and audio CramCasts covering the great works of literature.

Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales follows a story-telling contest among a group of pilgrims from various levels of society on their way to the shrine of Saint Thomas à Beckett. Throughout these tales, Chaucer weaves elements of humor, satire, ethics, sin, and redemption, often pitting two story-tellers against one another. The Canterbury Tales was written in Middle English, a common language, at a time when most books were written in Latin or Italian.
