  1. Geoffrey Chaucer was known as the supreme example of the Gothic artists. Chaucer was very much never understood but he was always applauded and admired for his works. Many would get to excited and put him on a higher level than he already was saying that he is "the father of English literature " and the prime shaper of the English language, but he was just as they said that he was. Before him there were G.L Kittredge , John Speirs , Pandarus, and Criseyde who were the first in English literature before Chaucer. Chaucer had mang writing such as the Canterbury tales (which was hus most famous one) which were divided into categories such as the French influence, Italian tendencies and last but not least English realism, they all reflect the gradual rejection of medieval conventionalism and the movement toward modern realism. Geoffrey Chaucer was such a realist that once you understood his poetry styles and how he writes you will gain a deeper insighting into poetry. As they all say he is the greatest poet of Medieval England.
