The most complete of all remaining surviving fragments sections of The
Canterbury Tales, the First Fragment contains some of Chaucer's most widely
enjoyed work. In The General Prologue, Chaucer introduces his pilgrims through a
set of speaking portraits, drawn with a clarity that makes no attempt to conceal
their peculiarities. The four tales that follow - those of the Knight, Miller,
Reeve and Cook - reveal a wide variety of human preoccupations: whether
chivalrous, romantic or simply sexual. Brilliantly bawdy and subtly complex,
each of these tales is alive with Chaucer's skills as a poet, storyteller and
creator of comedy.
