Geoffrey Chaucer 1343 – 25 October 1400, known as the Father
of English literature, is widely considered the greatest English
poet of the Middle Ages and was the first poet to have been buried
in Poet''s Corner of Westminster Abbey . While he achieved fame
during his lifetime as an author, philosopher, alchemist and
astronomer, composing a scientific treatise on the astrolabe for
his ten year-old son Lewis, Chaucer also maintained an active
career in the civil service as a bureaucrat, courtier and diplomat.
Among his many works, which include The Book of the Duchess, the
House of Fame, the Legend of Good Women and Troilus and Criseyde,
he is best loved today for The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer is a
crucial figure in developing the legitimacy of the vernacular,
Middle English, at a time when the dominant literary languages in
England were French and Latin.
Like Miss Rumphius, the late Barbara Cooney traveled the world,
lived in a house by the sea in Maine, and, through her art, made
the world more beautiful.
