EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment the Canterbury Pilgrims, led by Geoffrey Chaucer's fictional group of characters, depart from the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, embarking on their spiritual journey towards the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury, Kent. The year is circa 1387, and the scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the English countryside. The Tabard Inn, a popular resting place for travelers, is depicted in the foreground, its timber-framed structure nestled among the lush greenery. The pilgrims, dressed in the attire of the late medieval period, are seen mounting their horses or preparing to continue their journey on foot. Their expressions convey a sense of anticipation and determination, as they set out on their pilgrimage. Chaucer's seminal work, "The Canterbury Tales," is believed to have been inspired by this journey and the diverse group of pilgrims he encountered during his own travels. The tales, which were published posthumously in the late 14th century, have since become a cornerstone of English literature, offering a vivid and entertaining portrayal of life in medieval England. As the pilgrims leave Southwark and head northwest towards Canterbury, they would have passed through the rolling hills and verdant landscapes of Kent, taking in the sights and sounds of the English countryside. This image invites us to join them on their journey, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the stories that Chaucer left behind.
