One impact of the printing press was a general increase in literacy and education. This was because books suddenly became cheaper - until then they had to be hand-written, and so the monopoly on knowledge was generally in the hands of the church, who was responsible for re-writing books.

The Canterbury Tales was a popular book of the period because it was written in easy-to-understand language.
<h3>What were the Canterbury tales?</h3>
This was a tale about a group of priests who competed in a tale telling contest as they travelled to the Canterbury city.
The tales were written in the vernacular language. This was way different from the way other stories were written at the time. They were written in other languages.
This was what made it popular.
