The Canterbury Tales - Intro The people we read about are as real as the people we brush clothes with in the street,? nay, much more real, for we not only see their faces, and the fashion and texture of their garments, we know also what they think, how they express themselves, and with what eyes they look out to the world. ??Alexander Smith, Dreamthorp BACKGROUND In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer uses a form that had been used before?the frame tale, a larger story, inside of which are many smaller stories.
