The Wyves Tale of Bathe and prologue are among the best-known of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. They give insight into the role of women in the Late Middle Ages and are probably of interest to Chaucer himself, for the character is one of his most developed ones, with her prologue twice as long as her tale. She holds her own among the bickering pilgrims, and evidence in the manuscripts suggests that although she was first assigned a different, plainer tale

Geoffrey Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343–1400) is regarded as the "Father of English Literature" and a pivotal figure in medieval writing. His most celebrated work, The Canterbury Tales, is a collection of 24 stories written in Middle English, depicting a diverse group of pilgrims sharing tales during their journey to Canterbury. Blending humor, satire, and moral lessons, the work offers vivid insights into 14th-century society. Chaucer's use of vernacular English transformed literary tradition, making his works foundational to English literature.
