Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer was an English writer and poet from the 14th century, best known for his work "The Canterbury Tales." He is often called the "Father of English literature" because he helped develop the use of English instead of Latin or French in literature. Chaucer’s stories, written in a lively and accessible style, offer a vivid picture of medieval society, exploring human nature, social classes, and morality. His influence laid the foundation for modern English literature, making him a pivotal figure in the development of the language and storytelling tradition.
