Geoffrey Chaucer Boeken
1 januari 1343 – 25 oktober 1400
Geoffrey Chaucer wordt gevierd als de vader van de Engelse literatuur. Door zijn werken, met name de onvoltooide Canterbury Tales, duikt hij in de complexiteit van de menselijke natuur en de samenleving. Zijn baanbrekende gebruik van de volkstaal Engels verhief het tot een kunstvorm en beïnvloedde latere schrijvers diepgaand. Chaucers schrijven wordt bewonderd om zijn humor, psychologisch inzicht en meesterlijke karakterportretten.
