Few students read the whole of "The Canterbury Tales, but "Fragment I", which contains the general prologue, "The Knight's Tale", "The Miller's Tale", "The Reeve's Tale" and "The Cook's Tale", raises many of the topics that arise from studying the tales as a whole.
The most complete of all remaining surviving fragments sections of The Canterbury Tales, the First Fragment contains some of Chaucer''s most widely enjoyed work. In The General Prologue, Chaucer introduces his pilgrims through a set of speaking portraits, drawn with a clarity that makes no attempt to conceal their peculiarities. The four tales that follow - those of the Knight, Miller, Reeve and Cook - reveal a wide variety of human preoccupations: whether chivalrous, romantic or simply sexual. Brilliantly bawdy and subtly complex, each of these tales is alive with Chaucer''s skills as a poet, storyteller and creator of comedy.
