Geoffrey Chaucer was a Fourteenth century English poet who wrote beautiful verses including the famous Canterbury Tales, Troilus And Crisseyde, etc. At a time when the English language and literature had not elevated and refined enough for an English Renaissance, his poems became in itself a new variety and genre and his liquidity of diction and his licenscious dealing with the language gave his poems a delightful charm. People liked it and began to think, speak and write just as he did in his poems. Without knowing or not, he was fathering and standardising a new language and initiating the English renaissance. He is considered the father of contemporary English language and literature. Before him, it was not English but Englisch.
