出生: c.1343 逝世: 25/10/1400 性别: Male 类型: Medieval 职业: PoetGeoffrey Chaucer, author of the Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde, is credited with having set the style for Middle English literature. He was born in London, around 1345, into a well-connected family of wine merchants, and earned his living as an administrative servant of the royal court. The continuous publication of the Canterbury Tales since the author’s death, and the inspiration the stories have provided for other writers and artists, are testimony to the enduring appeal of Chaucer’s writing.
