Dryden described Chaucer as 'the father of English poetry' because Chaucer was a pioneer of using iambic pentametre and of using English; in the Middle Ages, French was preferred and English was viewed as a common language, so Chaucer's use and manipulation of it was a big factor in shaping the use of the language today.
"As he is the Father of English Poetry, so I hold him in the same Degree of Veneration as the Grecians held Homer, or the Romans Virgil:..." John Dryden in the Preface to "Fables, Ancient and Modern" (1700)
