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.
