Darius's review praises The Canterbury Tales as a comprehensive sociological portrait of the English Middle Ages. The review contrasts Chaucer's worldly focus with Dante's spiritual ascent and highlights Chaucer's critique of clerical corruption. Characters and their tales are read as social types revealing medieval tensions and humanistic currents.

For:Students and readers of medieval literature; general readers of classic English poetry.
