Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1340-1400)
Geoffrey Chaucer is often dubbed the father of English literature, and his 'The Canterbury Tales' remains one of the most famous works in world literature. Born in London, Chaucer had an interesting life - being a courtier, a diplomat, a civil servant, and being employed by English kings Edward III and Richard II. He was also taken prisoner during the Hundred Years War.
