Among his books are The Canterbury Tales, which is considered by many authors as a panel that reflects various literary forms coming from the Middle Ages, including, therefore, a panorama of medieval literary scene, from the tone of courtly love, registered in opening poem of the book, namely, the Knight's Tale, through the hagiographies that chronicled the lives of the saints, as can be glimpsed in the Tale of the Magistrate. Besides, the text of Chaucer is a scenario that reflects the way of being in the world and way of seeing the world in England in the Middle Ages Critical social classes that make up this panorama Chaucer is not a social reformer.
