Geoffrey Chaucer The Canterbury Tales

The Canterbury Tales Written in Middle English from 1386-1400 Written by Geoffrey Chaucer (though he died before he could finish) Written in the London dialect of Middle English vernacular

Political Stuff of the Times Growing Pains & Tensions: The Beginning of the Separation between Church & State At the time, the Catholic Church and the Government (monarchy) were one-in-the-same in Great Britain. Corruption: Due to this pairing, there was a lot of political/power- based corruption in the Church & Government. The feudal system was beginning to fail. The working man’s view became more prevalent. Vernacular was being employed in literary works. Vernacular of the time: Middle English (broke from Old English).

Verse | Iambic pentameter Even though Chaucer uses Middle English, the common man’s language or the language of everyday, he still uses a proper verse introduced by French schools. Iambic Verse: verse written with sets of iambs (unstressed and stressed syllables) to create rhythm within a given work. The number of sets determines the meter.

Meter more closely Meter: pattern of unstressed and stressed syllables in poetry. U = unstressed syllable / = stressed syllable Iambic Meter: sets of “U /” Iambic Pentameter: five sets of “U /”
