Geoffrey Chaucer Libri
1 gennaio 1343 – 25 ottobre 1400
Geoffrey Chaucer è celebrato come il padre della letteratura inglese. Attraverso le sue opere, in particolare i Racconti di Canterbury, incompiuti, approfondisce le complessità della natura umana e della società. Il suo uso pionieristico della lingua inglese vernacolare la elevò a forma d'arte, influenzando profondamente gli scrittori successivi. La scrittura di Chaucer è ammirata per la sua arguzia, la sua intuizione psicologica e le sue magistrali rappresentazioni di personaggi.
