杰弗利·乔叟(1340—1400),十四世纪英国大文豪,大诗人,享有"英国诗歌之父"的美誉。《坎特伯雷故事》是他的代表作。《坎特伯雷故事》讲述了一群香客到坎特伯雷城去朝圣的路上,为解闷而各人所说的奇异故事。他们的故事广泛地反映了当时的社会风貌。作品以讽刺为基调,内容和文体各异,并符合每一个讲述者的身份。作品生动地描绘了十四世纪英国的社会生活,体现了反封建倾向和人文主义思想。 (Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400), known as the great writer and poet of English literature, is widely considered the greatest English poet in the 14th century. He is best known for The Canterbury Tales. The Canterbury Tales are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey to the shine at Canterbury. Their tales widely reflect the society at that time. This keynote of this work is satire and these tales differ from each other in the content and the literary form and conform to every narrator's identification. The Canterbury Tales is a vivid portrait of English society in the 14th century and reflects anti-feudal tendency and humanistic thought. )
