Description:Harriet Lee's Canterbury Tales (published 1797–1805) was her most well-known book. It contained twelve stories told by travelers who met by chance. This idea was clearly inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's much older and famous book, also called Canterbury Tales.One of the stories in Harriet Lee's book, called "Kruitzner," greatly influenced the famous poet Lord Byron. When Byron was about 14 years old, he read "Kruitzner." He later wrote that this story made a "deep impression" on him. He felt it contained the "germ" or beginning of many ideas he would later write about.In 1821, Byron turned "Kruitzner" into a play called Werner, or the Inheritance. He published it in 1822. In the introduction to his play, he openly said that he got the idea from Harriet Lee's story.
