Abstract

It is not easy, perhaps, to trace in the course of English literature such fundamental and apparently sudden change that took place in the period between 1343 and 1440. This period witnessed the birth of a giant in English literature who gave English literature its distinctive character and uniqueness. This giant is the great poet Geoffrey Chaucer who is often called the father of English poetry. In precedent arenas, English which was used from 1100 to about 1500 is called Middle English. As we should expect, the language had changed a great deal in the seven hundred years since the time of Beowulf, and it is much easier for contemporary readers to read Chaucer rather than other poetic texts in Old English.
