Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1343 – 1400) was an English author, poet, and bureaucrat. A prolific author, he is best remembered for his unfinished work The Canterbury Tales, which he spent most of the last decade of his life writing. His achievements and influence are so great that he is often called the father of English literature.
