Who was Chaucer & what did he write?
Geoffrey Chaucer has been acclaimed as the “Father of English Literature”. His writings (usually the Canterbury Tales) are on required reading lists in literature classes in schools and universities around the world. For any one who still hadn’t heard of him, Chaucer has made appearances in pop culture. For example, Paul Bettany plays Chaucer in the movie Knight’s Tale (starring Heath Ledger).
