Explanation

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400) is the definitive Middle English poet, best known for "The Canterbury Tales." He wrote in Middle English during the late 14th century, helping establish it as a literary language. Shakespeare wrote in Early Modern English (16th-17th century), Milton in 17th century, and Hardy in 19th-20th centuries - all too late for Middle English.
