Canterbury Tales - The Summoner
The Summoner - who appears to be delivering a summons from an ecclesiastical court - a character in " The Canterbury Tales", a collection of stories written by Geoffrey Chaucer at the end of the 14th century and told by a group of pilgrims on their way to the shrine of St Thomas a Becket at Canterbury Cathedral, Kent. This series of illustrations is from " Chaucers Canterbury Tales", edited by John Saunders, publ. J.M. Dent & Co, 1889, and are based on those in the Ellesmere Manuscript. (Now in the public domain.) The Summoner would not be a popular person and even his horse looks sly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Geoffrey Chaucer's timeless masterpiece, "The Canterbury Tales". The Summoner, a character known for his role in delivering summonses from ecclesiastical courts, takes center stage. With an air of authority and mischief, he holds a legal document in one hand while mounted on his horse - a creature that seems to mirror its rider's sly demeanor. The image is part of the renowned "Chaucers Canterbury Tales" collection edited by John Saunders and published in 1889. These illustrations are based on the Ellesmere Manuscript, adding historical authenticity to their artistic charm. The Summoner himself would not have been well-liked during Chaucer's time, as he represented the often-corrupt legal system of medieval England. Through this artwork, we glimpse into British culture during the 14th century. The Summoner's traditional clothing and robe reflect the period costume of that era. Surrounding him is an atmosphere steeped in religious devotion and storytelling as pilgrims make their way to St Thomas a Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. This enchanting piece invites us to explore themes of behavior, spirituality, law, and literature woven intricately throughout "The Canterbury Tales". It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an educational tool for those interested in delving into the rich history of medieval England.
