Chaucer wrote in English, and Dante wrote in Italian, although both were working with older versions than we have now. Chaucer was writing in what they call "Middle English," which is often hard for modern speakers to understand. Dante's Divine Comedy was written in the Tuscan dialect, which was significant at the time because most people were writing poetry in Latin, and writing in other, "lesser" languages was considered uncool. :)

Dante Alighieri, Geoffrey Chaucer, Anthony Burgess
Dante Alighieri, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Miguel de Cervantes are three famous writers who wrote in the vernacular, which means they wrote in their native languages (Italian, Middle English, and Spanish) rather than in Latin.

The works of Chaucer, Dante Alighieri, and Wycliffe were important because they helped shape the development of literature and language during the medieval period. Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" is considered a cornerstone of English literature, Dante's "Divine Comedy" influenced Italian literature, and Wycliffe's translation of the Bible into English played a significant role in the spread of vernacular languages. Their works also provided insights into the social, political, and religious contexts of their time.
Geoffrey Chaucer (1343? - October 25, 1400) was influenced by two great Italian authors whose lifetimes overlapped with his: Giovanni Boccaccio (1313? - July 19, 1374) and Francesco Petrarca (July 20, 1304 - July 19, 1374). He additionally was influenced by a great Italian author whose post-humous impact never has stopped on the world's writers: Dante Alighieri (1265 - September 14, 1321).
