'''Geoffrey Chaucer''' (''Galfridus Chaucer'', ''El Jefe'', ''L.L. Cool Geoff'') (c. 1343 – 25 October 1400) was an English author, poet, philosopher, bureaucrat, courtier and diplomat. Although he wrote many works, he is best remembered for his unfinished [[Framing Device|frame narrative]] ''[[The Canterbury Tales (Literature)|The Canterbury Tales]]''. Sometimes called the "father of English literature", Chaucer is widely credited as first demonstrating the artistic legitimacy of the vernacular English language, rather than French or Latin. Chaucer's works were among the earliest printed in English, which did much to establish his southern dialect as "correct" written English. He is buried in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. He is in fact the ''reason'' it is called the Poet's Corner. Of course he owed his Westminster Abbey grave to his services to the crown ''not'' his literary eminence.
 
As a character, Chaucer appears in ''[[A Knight's Tale]]'', where he is played by Paul Bettany.
