Chaucer | Englische Literatur

GEOFFREY CHAUCER (1340?-1400), son of a London merchant, served in a campaign in France, was taken prisoner, and ransomed. He held various positions at court and was sent on a mission to Genoa and Florence in 1372-73 where he perhaps met Boccaccio and Petrarch. In 1374 he became controller of customs in the port of London, and from 1376 to 1378 he was employed in diplomatic service in Flanders and Lombardy. He made the Canterbury pilgrimage in 1388. Chaucer was much influenced by French and Italian literature, but his greatest work, the Canterbury Tales, is entirely English in feeling. Its skilful combination of humour and wisdom, insight into character, both satirical and sympathetic, low farce and pure poetry, has delighted generations of readers. The Canterbury Tales can be enjoyed in the original today with little difficulty. This edition, in the authoritative version of Professor Skeat, has a note on the language and metre, and a glossary of names and words.
