TIGHT, GLOSSARY AND PROPER NAMES IN THE BACK. EXPLANATORY NOTES. Chaucer, Geoffrey (c.1343-1400).

His impact on the English language through the absorption of French words, ideas, and forms is considerable. Born into a family of prosperous vintners, Chaucer served as page then esquire to various aristocratic households, including that of Richard II. Chaucer's specific assignments included fighting in the Hundred Years War c.1359, undertaking trade and diplomatic missions to Italy and France, and acting as customs controller at the port of London and clerk of works at Westminster. THE CANTERBURY TALES, THE HOUSE OF FAME, SHORT POEMS AND MANY OTHER WRITINGS. GREAT LITERARY HISTORY. 1776 BOOKSTORE, WHERE HISTORY LIVES.
