Etymology in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales Francis McManus

Geoffrey Chaucer & Canterbury Tales Background ► Born in 1343 in London. Died in ► Multi-talented Writer who also worked as a diplomat and courtier. ► Wrote many works but he is perhaps best known for Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories told by fictional pilgrims on the road to the cathedral at Canterbury. ► Unfinished and begun in the 1380s, Canterbury Tales is credited with proving English's legitimacy as an artistic language.

Background on The Cook’s Tale & Prologue ► PROLOGUE  The Cook (Roger) starts by asking for his listeners to hear the tale of a trick that was played in his city. The host then invites the cook to tell his tale. (Both the host and the Cook make nasty jokes about each other) ► TALE  The tale tells of an apprentice nicknamed Perkin Reveller. Perkin enjoyed partying more than working. His master found out about all this and dismissed him, so he left and met up with a friend whose wife was a whore.  The tale ends abruptly at this point.
