Literature Classics.com Philosophy Classics.com —Advertisement Home Help Login Contact Geoffrey Chaucer English poet, before Shakespeare, whose varied work includes one of the greatest poems, The Cantebury Tales Chaucer was the first in a tradition of English poets who would play a significant role in the development of literature. He served as a public servant for most of his life, aiding three successive kings. His travels abroad, particularly to France, where he encountered French Romanticism, had a profound influence on the style of his writing. Chaucer's work is characterised by variety subject matter, genre, tone and style; they represent some of the most careful and tolerant consideration of philosophical ideas. The Canterbury Tales is one of the greatest works of English poetry. It tells of a storytelling contest of a group of about 30 pilgrims as they travel through England. It is an extraordinary exploration of the pleasures, vices and spiritual aspirations of our lives. Source : LiteratureClassics.com Editorial Team

THE GEOFFREY CHAUCER PAGE The Life of Chaucer For a brief chronology of Chaucer's life and times, click here Geoffrey Chaucer led a busy official life, as an esquire of the royal court, as the comptroller of the customs for the port of London, as a participant in important diplomatic missions, and in a variety of other official duties. All this is richly recorded in literally hundreds of documents (see Martin Crow and Clair C. Olson, Chaucer Life Records , Austin, Texas (1966) [Widener 12422.598]). But such documents tell us little about Chaucer the man and poet. Nor does Chaucer himself tell us all that much. He is a lively presence in his works, and every reader comes to feel that he knows Chaucer very well. Perhaps we do. There is a certain consistency in the character of Chaucer as he appears in his works, and occasional biographical passages, such as this from The House of Fame , seem to ring true: "Wherfore, as I seyde, ywys, Jupiter considereth this, And also, beau sir, other thynges: That is, that thou hast no tydynges Of Loves folk yf they be glade

27. The Classic Text: Geoffrey Chaucer Manuscript illuminations from the University of WisconsinMadison's special exhibit http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/Library/special/exhibits/clastext/clspg073.htm

G eoffrey Chaucer pursued many occupations during his life: soldier, diplomat, intelligence officer, construction supervisor, Controller of Customs, and member of Parliament. Yet, it is for his literary accomplishments that he has achieved enduring fame. The Canterbury Tales , never completed, represents his magnum opus and the crowning achievement of his life. H e began work on The Canterbury Tales about 1387, and intended for each of his thirty pilgrims to tell four tales, two while traveling to Canterbury and two while traveling from Canterbury. However, only twenty-three pilgrims received a story before Chaucer's death in 1400. C haucer's Tales quickly spread throughout England in the early fifteenth century. Scholars feel The Canterbury Tales reached their instant and continued success because of their accurate and oftentimes vivid portrayal of human nature, unchanged through 600 years since Chaucer's time. George Macy, founder of The Limited Editions Club wrote on The Canterbury Tales: . . . it has been said of The Canterbury Tales that all of humanity moves through its pages. The stories are full of an inimitable humor, at once friendly and shrewd. The points are often made casually, often with bludgeon strokes, but they are always human and illuminating.

28. Boccaccio (general Note) Harvard University site commenting on the relationship of Boccaccio's and chaucer's writings. http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~chaucer/special/authors/boccaccio/

THE GEOFFREY CHAUCER PAGE Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) Giovanni Boccaccio is, with the older Dante and the contemporary Francis Petrarch, one of the three great poets of the Italian fourteenth century. Chaucer knew the works of all three, and it has been speculated that he may even have met both Petrarch and Boccaccio (but see below). Of the three, Boccaccio was the one on whom Chaucer drew most heavily, and in some sense strove to emulate; Chaucer based Troilus on Boccaccio's Il Filostrato and his Knight's Tale on Il Teseida , and Chaucer's elaborate high style owes something to Boccaccio's attempt to emulate the classics in his own vernacular. In his Monk's Tale Chaucer drew on Boccaccio's Latin works, his account of the falls of famous men and his book of illustrious women. A number of the Canterbury tales tell stories that also appear in Boccaccio's Decameron There is a slim possibility that Chaucer met Boccaccio, who was living in Certaldo, just south of Florence, in the 1370's when Chaucer was in Italy.

THE SECOND NUN'S TALE OF THE LIFE OF SAINT CECILIA This maiden bright, Cecilia, her life saith, Was Roman born and of a noble kind, And from the cradle tutored in the faith Of Christ, and bore His gospel in her mind; She never ceased, as written do I find, To pray to God, and love Him, and to dread, Beseeching Him to keep her maidenhead. And when this maiden must unto a man Be wedded, who was a young man in age, And who had to his name Valerian, And when the day was come for her marriage, She, meek of heart, devout, and ever sage, Under her robe of gold, well-made and fair, Had next her body placed a shirt of hair. And while the organ made its melody, To God alone within her heart sang she: "O Lord, my soul and body guide to The Unsoiled, lest I in spirit ruined be." And for His love Who died upon a tree, Each second or third day she used to fast, And ever prayed she till the day was past. The night came, and to bed she must be gone

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks ClassicNote on Geoffrey Chaucer About Geoffrey Chaucer Before William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer was the preeminent English poet, and still retains the position as the most significant poet to write in Middle English. Chaucer was born in the early 1340s to a middle-class family. His father, John Chaucer, was a vintner and deputy to the king's butler. His family's financial success came from work in the wine and leather businesses. Little information exists about Chaucer's education, but his writings demonstrate a close familiarity with a number of important books of his contemporaries and of earlier times. Chaucer was likely fluent in several languages, including French, Italian and Latin. Chaucer first appears in public records in 1357 as a member of the house of Elizabeth, Countess of Ulster. This was a conventional arrangement in which sons of middle-class households were placed in royal service so that they may obtain a courtly education. Two years later Chaucer served in the army under Edward II and was captured during an unsuccessful offensive at Reims, although he was later ransomed. Chaucer served under a number of diplomatic missions. By 1366 Chaucer had married Philippa Pan, who had been in service with the Countess of Ulster. Chaucer married well for his position, for Philippa Chaucer received an annuity from the queen consort of Edward II. Chaucer himself secured an annuity as yeoman of the king and was listed as one of the king's esquires.
