Geoffrey Chaucer’s decision to write in the vernacular, rather than Latin or French, marked a decisive shift in literary culture, widening both audience and ambition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe frame of a pilgrimage allows for a remarkable range of voices to emerge. Each tale reflects not only a narrative tradition, but a social position, a moral outlook, and a particular use of language. Comedy, piety, satire, and irony coexist without being resolved, producing a portrait of society that is expansive rather than unified.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRead now, \u003cem\u003eThe Canterbury Tales\u003c\/em\u003e remains striking for its formal variety and its alertness to human contradiction.
