*the so-called “father of ‘english literature’*
(“‘so-called’ by whom?)
(‘geoffrey chaucer’ is widely considered the greatest english poet of the ‘middle ages’)
(‘chaucer’ was the first poet to be buried in ‘poets’ corner’ of ‘westminster abbey’)
(while he achieved ‘fame’ during his lifetime as an [‘author’ / ‘philosopher’ / ‘astronomer’], composing a ‘scientific treatise’ on the ‘astrolabe’ for his 10-year-old son ‘lewis’ – ‘chaucer’ also maintained an active career in the ‘civil service’ as a (‘bureaucrat’ / ‘courtier’ / ‘diplomat’))
.
(among his many works are…)
the book of the duchess
the house of fame
the legend of good women
(i’ve gotta find me a copy of this ASAP!)
*’troilus’ + ‘criseyde’*
.
(he is best known today for ‘the canterbury tales’)
.
(chaucer’s work was crucial in ‘legitimizing’ the literary use of the ‘middle english vernacular’ at a time when the dominant ‘literary languages’ in ‘england’ were ‘french’ + ‘latin’)
