Answer:

The novelty of the theme and its treatment enthralled the audience.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury tales" is a collection of tales narrated by the thirty pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The idea was that each pilgrim will tell four stories, two on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. This was written in Middle English, which made it easier for the common people to understand it.

In these tales, Chaucer used his characters to draw out the issues relating to political, social or even religious themes, uncommon topics for the people of that age to openly talk about. The description of these themes through the tales were true but were not openly pointed out in public by anyone. Special case is the corruption of the church, the poverty all are real life issues that were ignored. Also, the characterization of people from different backgrounds made it even more popular for the common masses can easily relate to them.
