1. Jefri Choser The Canterbury Tales are the writing style and sources of the work

 
1.Jefri Choser 
1340s-25 October 1400) was an English poet, writer and civil servant, best 
known for his "Canterbury Tales". He has been called the" father of English 
literature "or alternatively the" father of English poetry". He was the first writer to 
be called Poets ' Corner at Westminster Abbey. Chaucer also gained fame as a 
philosopher and astronomer and wrote the scientific work “treatise on Astrolabe”.for 
his 10-year-old son Lewis. He continued his career in the civil service as a 
bureaucrat, courtier, diplomat and member of Parliament. 
Chaucer's many other works include" The Duchess's book"," The House of 
Glory "" The Legend of good women"," Troil and 
Criseyd". It is decisive in legitimizing the literary use 
of Middle English when the dominant literary 
languages in England were still Anglo-norman 
French and Latin. Chaucer's contemporary Thomas 
Hocklev hailed him as "the best of our language" 
(i.e., the first to be able to find a poetic subject in 
English). About two thousand English words were 
first attested in Chaucerian manuscripts. 
While records of the lives of his contemporaries William Lengland and the 
Hawaiian poet are virtually absent, his official life is very well documented as 
Chaucer was a civil servant, with about five hundred written objects testifying to his 
career. The first of the" Chauser records of life " appears in 1357 in the household

knighthood or prestigious appointments. The Countess was married to Lionel 
Antwerp, the first Duke of Clarence, the second surviving son of the King. Edward 
III and this position brought teenager Chaucer into a close judicial circle, where he 
was to remain for the rest of his life. He also worked as a courtier, diplomat and civil 
servant, and as secretary for the King's affairs from 1389 to 1391. 
In 1359, in the early stages of the Hundred Years ' War, Edward III invaded 
France, and Chaucer travelled with Lionel of Antwerp, as part of Elizabeth's 
husband's English army. In 1360 he was captured at the siege of Rheims. Edward 
paid £ 16 for his fee, with a large sum of £ 12,261 and a Choser released in 2021.

After that, Chaucer's life is uncertain, but he seems to have travelled through 
France, Spain and Flanders, perhaps as a messenger and even went on a pilgrimage 
to Santiago de Compostela. Around 1366, Chaucer married Philippa (de) Roet. She 
was the sister of Catherine Swinford, lady-in-waiting to Philippa Heinault, Queen of 
Edward III, and later (circa 1396) the third wife of John Gaunt. It is not known how 
many children Chaucer and Philippa had, but often three or four are mentioned. His 
son, Thomas Chaucer, had a distinguished career as chief butler, to the Four Kings, 
ambassador to France and speaker of the House of Commons. Thomas ' daughter 
Alice married the Duke of Suffolk. Thomas's great-grandson (Jeffrey's great-
grandson) John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, was the heir to the throne appointed by 
Richard III before his overthrow. Geoffrey's other children were probably Elizabeth 
Chaucy Agnes, a nun at Barking Abbey, a maid at the coronation of Henry IV; and 
another son, Lewis Chaucer. Chaucer's" treatise on Astrolabe " was written for 
Lewis.
