are The Canterbury Tales in any way methaphysical or religious?

There was literature before Chaucer and now we just have to figure out what happened regarding Chaucer. There is nothing new past him, anti-Chaucerians like DFW failed miserably.

How did this retard become a renowned author if his humour literally boils down to gross and repetitive fart jokes?

I have a copy of the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer but it's a modern English translation. Is there any point reading it or am I better off getting a Middle English copy? Presumably a lot of the rhyme will be lost with a translation, but I imagine I'll miss things if I read the original due to not fully grasping the language

The biggest loss in literary history is that chaucer never got to complete the canterbury tales
