Home > Chaucer's Retraction

 
Chaucer's Retraction is the final section of the Canterbury Tales. It is written as an apology, where Chaucer apologises for the vulgar and unworthy parts of this and other past works, and seeks absolution for his sins.

Wherfore I biseke yow mekely, for the mercy
Of God, that ye preye for me that crist have
Mercy on me and foryeve me my giltes;/ and
Namely of my translacions and enditynges of
Worldly vanitees, the whiche I revoke in
My retracciouns:/ as is the book of Troilus;
the book also of Fame ; the book of
The xxv. Ladies; the book of the duchesse ;
The book of seint valentynes day of the parlement
of briddes; the tales of counterbury,
Thilke that sownen into synne;/ the book of the
Leoun; and many another book.
