ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Geoffrey Chaucer, often regarded as the "Father of English Literature," was a remarkable figure in the late 14th century. Born in the 1340s in London, England, Chaucer's exact birthdate remains uncertain.
Chaucer's life was multifaceted. He served as a page, soldier, and diplomat, which allowed him to travel extensively across Europe, providing him with a rich tapestry of experiences that would later influence his writing.
His most famous work, "The Canterbury Tales", stands as one of the seminal works in English literature. Written in Middle English, it's a collection of stories told by pilgrims on a journey to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. Through these tales, Chaucer painted a vivid picture of English society during the Middle Ages, complete with a diverse cast of characters, including knights, priests, and merchants.
Chaucer's writing was revolutionary for its time. He played a pivotal role in transitioning English literature from Old English to Middle English. His use of the vernacular language helped make literature accessible to a wider audience, breaking away from the dominance of Latin and French in written works.
His contributions to English literature are immeasurable, and his influence is still felt today. Chaucer passed away in 1400, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire writers, scholars, and lovers of literature around the world.
