A. Geoffery Chaucer

Answer 2

a) Geoffrey Chaucer

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of the 14th century, the Englishman Geoffrey Chaucer wrote an epic tale about Christian pilgrims: The Canterbury Tales. In this collection of stories, Chaucer presents a varied group of characters that reflect the different societal roles of the period. All the character meet amid a pilgrimage from London to Canterbury to visit the sanctuary of Thomas Becket in the Cathedral of Canterbury. The pilgrimage works as an excuse to present how the different characters meet and interact. The Canterbury Tales is one of the most important works of the English literature and, perhaps, the most important book of medieval English literature.
