exclusively for nobility
while chaucer clearly states the addressees of many of his poems (the "book of the duchess" is believed to have been written for john of gaunt on the occasion of his wife's death in 1368), the intended audience of "the canterbury tales" is more difficult to determine. chaucer was a courtier, leading some to believe that he was mainly a court poet who wrote exclusively for the nobility. he is referred to as a noble translator and poet by eustache deschamps and by his contemporary john gower. it has been suggested that the poem was intended to be read aloud, which is probable as this was a common activity at the time. however, it also seems to have been intended for private reading as well, since chaucer frequently refers to himself as the writer, rather than the speaker, of the work. determining the intended audience directly from the text is even more difficult, since the audience is part of the story. this makes it difficult to tell when chaucer is writing to the fictional pilgrim audience or the actual reader.
