It has been revealed that a so-called trigger warning has been applied to Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales by a leading UK university due to concerns about the 14th-century book's "expressions of Christian faith" and how those might affect students today.
A Freedom of Information request revealed that the University of Nottingham put the warning on the medieval collection of 24 tales that tell of pilgrims going to Canterbury Cathedral to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket, reports the Daily Telegraph.
