Geoffrey Chaucer recounts over 20 stories in The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer uses irony to describe English society in the late 14th century. The work helped popularize English and provides historians insight into Chaucer's day. As a result, English ascended while French and Latin went by the wayside. The 20 tales describe the life of knights, cook's, physicians, nuns, and many others.
