About the Author

Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343- 1400) was an English poet, philosopher, and diplomat, often called the " Father of English literature." Renowned for The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer's work was groundbreaking in its use of the English vernacular. His storytelling and poetic skills immortalized him as a pivotal figure in medieval literature, bridging the oral tradition and the written word.
