Synopsis
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. 1
Accordingly, from the composition of pieces of the one-sided and unsatisfactory character of those contained in The Legend of Good Women, Chaucer turned to the preparation of his great work, The Canterbury Tales. This gave him the fullest opportunity to display all his powers, and must have constituted the main literary occupation of his later life.
