Geoffrey Chaucer, often hailed as the "Father of English literature," was a 14th-century poet and diplomat whose works bridged the gap between medieval and modern English. Born circa 1343 in London, Chaucer's most renowned work, "The Canterbury Tales," showcases a diverse array of characters and their stories, reflecting the complexities of society in his time. His pioneering use of the English vernacular instead of Latin or French not only popularized the language but also laid the foundations for future literary expression, securing his enduring legacy.
