Reading Proem to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales | Alexandria
Read Proem to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales by William Caxton. Shattering medieval norms, Caxton's Proem reframes pilgrimage as psychological journey, not just physical trek. His radical insight that storytelling shapes identity resonates in today's digital age, where narratives define us more than ever. Most surprisingly, he suggests true wisdom comes from fellow travelers, not authorities.
