Geoffrey Chaucer

       While reading about Geoffrey Chaucer I learned that he was considered to have changed the English Literature with his book The Canterbury Tales. He is also commonly referred to The Father of literature. During his time he investigated the contrast between authority and experience. The theological faith versus human reaaon, the ideal versus the pragmatic, the ritual of courtly love, the action of the individual, the Christian teaching of free will versus man's sense of being fated. He is also known for the famous opening lines of The General Prologue. The implications made by Chaucers arrangment of the tales thematic groups. The way he can provide another dimension or way of thinking in his stories. I think what made him a great writer was his belief or view of the microcosm balances the dynamic and the static made. And the wide range of individual feeling and belief within unchanging human nature.
