“all that glitters is not gold”

– Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales.



‘The Canterbury Tales’ is one of the most famous pieces of early English literature, written during the end of the 14th-century. Written by Geoffrey Chaucer, this book is a collection of short stories told from the perspective of traveling pilgrims on their way to Canterbury from London. Chaucer paints an accurate portrayal of English society during the time, as well as customs and social practices. Many of the famous tales have appeared in film, theatre, and other media form. ‘The Miller’s Tale’ is the second story in the ‘tales’ that tells of a carpenter’s wife who has a number of suiters and his defending her.



This 1712 edition of ‘The Miller’s Tale’ is the famous Samuel Cobb ‘modern’ translation, an edition which was notable for accurately portraying the 18th-century view of Chaucer.
