In 170th episode, Lucas and Luna explore Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the first great work of English literature written in the Middle English vernacular. They discuss how Chaucer's London upbringing, his service as a courtier and diplomat under Edward III and Richard II, and his connections to John of Gaunt shaped his writing. The episode examines the social panorama of the 24 pilgrims, from the Knight and the Wife of Bath to the Pardoner and the Miller, and how these characters reflected the changing world of 14th-century England. Lucas explains the Canterbury Tales' frame narrative structure, the unfinished state of the work, and the significance of Chaucer's decision to write in English rather than French or Latin. They touch on the Ellesmere Manuscript, the first printed edition by William Caxton, and Chaucer's burial in Westminster Abbey's Poets' Corner. The episode also delves into the language of the Tales, with lines read in original Middle English to show how the language has evolved over six centuries. #GeoffreyChaucer #CanterburyTales #MiddleEnglish #MedievalLiterature #JohnofGaunt #RichardII #WestminsterAbbey #PoetsCorner #WifeofBath #Pardoner #WilliamCaxton #EllesmereManuscript #FrameNarrative #14thCentury #England #Literature #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
