Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343 – October 25, 1400) was an English author, poet, philosopher, bureaucrat (courtier), and diplomat, who is best known as the author of The Canterbury Tales. As an author, he is considered not only the father of English literature, but also, often of the English language itself. Chaucer's writings validated English as a language capable of poetic greatness, and in the process instituted many of the traditions of English poesy that have continued to this day.
