Geoffrey Chaucer wrote many works of literature in his lifetime (1343-1400) but 'The Canterbury Tales' is by far the most famous.
The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories, written in verse with the exception of two which are written in prose. As Chaucer wrote in Old English, the works can be very difficult to understand for a novice so many texts now include a translation into modern English.
Titles include 'The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale', 'The Miller's Tale', 'The Knight's Prologue and Tale', 'The Merchant's Prologue and Tale' and 'The Pardoner's Prologue and Tale'.
Geoffrey Chaucer was born in England but travelled around Spain, France and Italy which undoubtedly influenced his writing.
It is believed that Chaucer started work on the Canterbury Tales at the beginning of the 1380s but stopped work on them by the end of the 1390s.
He also wrote the poem 'Troilus and Criseyde' which was set during the Trojan War
