Extractions: Literature in English Society: The Middle Ages . Seoul: Sogang University Press. 1997. Quotations from these pages may be made, with proper acknowledgement. Life and Times Chaucer is mentioned no less than 493 times in contemporary documents, mostly lists of money paid out to people serving the king or other powerful figures. Through them we know many details about his career in royal and government service. The literary works played no apparent part in this public career and there is no indication in the court or public records of his writing activities. Yet there is no serious doubt that in the course of his busy working life, Geoffrey Chaucer found time to translate and write the various works that make him the first recognizable named "author" of England. The many documentary records mean that we can follow his life in far greater detail than, for example, that of Shakespeare. They establish the context in which he moved, although they shed little or no direct light on the works he wrote. Chaucer's father, John Chaucer, occasionally held positions in the royal administration, but he was first and foremost a wine- merchant in London, an important member of the business community. Geoffrey Chaucer's mother's name was Alice. Geoffrey, probably their only son, was born some time around 1340. In 1386 he is noted in a legal record as being '

The text of this edition is based on that published in THE COMPLETE WORKS OF GEOFFREY CHAUCER, vol. III (Ed: W.W. Skeat; 2nd Edition, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1900). This text is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN in the United States. This electronic edition was edited and prepared by Douglas B. Killings ( DeTroyes@EnterAct.COM ), November 1996. Proofreading by Diane M. Brendan ( DMB10001@AOL.COM ), December 1996. Preparer's Note CONTENTS Prologe Balade I. The legend of Cleopatra II. The Legend of Thisbe ... IX. The Legend of Hypermnestra APPENDIX PREPARER'S NOTE: The prologue of this work is extant in essentially two versions, commonly referred to as the "A-Text" and the "B-Text". The "B- Text" is generally considered Chaucer's final version, and is here incorporated into the main text. However, because the earlier "A-Text" differs substantially in many parts from the "B- Text", it has been added to this edition as an Appendix. There are two recognized systems of line numbering for this work, and critics have long debated as to which is the more appropriate. The most common method is to number the lines from the beginning of the "B-Text" Prologue. However, some critics assign numbers from the beginning of each section. This electronic text principally follows the former convention; however, line numbers from the beginning of each section have also been added, and are indicated by PARENTHESIS (XXXX).

Geoffrey Chaucer Life Stories, Books, & Links Biographical stories about The Canterbury Tales and The Parliament of Fowls. Requires registration. http://www.todayinliterature.com/biography/geoffrey.chaucer.asp
Extractions: Chaucer is usually seen as the father, if not savior, of English literature: he rescued the language from the French, he broke the formula-writing of the Church and Court, he created The Canterbury Tales . Although The Parliament of Fowls is less known, it has been called "the finest occasional poem in the English language," and through it Chaucer may be able to claim another paternity: that of Valentine's Day. Chaucer's Pilgrims On this day (or possibly the next) in 1394, Geoffrey Chaucer's twenty-nine pilgrims met at the Tabard Inn in Southwark to prepare for their departure to Canterbury. Chaucer's intention was to have his pilgrims arrive on Easter morning, after a fifty-five-mile hike through a pleasant English springtime; the pilgrims never made it, though the poetry endures.
