The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer's most well-known work, is a collection of mostly verse and some prose told in a contest by a group of traveling pilgrims. The tales often cover the themes of love, lust, avarice, religion, class structure, as well as many others. Chaucer's original version is written in Middle English, but there are many modern English translations available.
