No, all the tales in Canterbury Tales are called The x's Tale (for suitable values of x). Pilgrim's Progress is a poem and Christian allegory by John Bunyan, and was written about a decade after Paradise Lost (if I remember rightly). It's meant to be a great work of literature, but comparing it to Milton I think it merely shows the devil has all the best poems as well as the tunes.

Well, okay, it's got lots of good bits in a way, but it never quite worked for me, especially the ending.

Sorry, I fear the smily face I was making while typing the Pilgrim's Progress comment has totally failed to come through on the screen.
