GEOFFREY CHAUCER IS THE GREATEST ENGLISH LITERATURE REPRESENTATIVE

Abstrak:

Geoffrey Chaucer lived in England from the late 1340s until his death on October 25, 1400, and he is best remembered for his work on The Canterbury Tales. He has been referred to as the "father of English literature" or, alternately, the "father of English poetry". He was the first author to be laid to rest in Westminster Abbey's Poets' Corner, which is now known as such. As a philosopher and astronomer who wrote the academic A Treatise on the Astrolabe for his 10-year-old son Lewis, Chaucer also rose to popularity. He continued his public service career as a bureaucrat, courtier, diplomat, and lawmaker.
