Canterbury Pilgrims English writer Geoffrey Chaucer devised the framework of a pilgrimage to Canterbury to create the 12 narratives of differing literary styles that make up his masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales. The Tales are a masterful combination of such medieval genres as courtly love, allegory, and exemplary story, and are related in a dramatic and vivid manner, using both prose and verse forms. This 15th-century illustration shows the pilgrims en route to Canterbury.

English writer Virginia Woolf contributed a great deal to modern literature during the early and mid-20th century by abandoning traditional narrative style and pioneering the use of stream of consciousness. A fervent supporter of women’s rights, Woolf considers the difficulties of the woman artist in A Room Of One’s Own (1929).
