Geoffrey Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343–1400) is regarded as the "Father of English Literature" and a pivotal figure in medieval writing. His most celebrated work, The Canterbury Tales, is a collection of 24 stories written in Middle English, depicting a diverse group of pilgrims sharing tales during their journey to Canterbury. Blending humor, satire, and moral lessons, the work offers vivid insights into 14th-century society. Chaucer's use of vernacular English transformed literary tradition, making his works foundational to English literature.
