INTRODUCTION. Geffrey Chaucers creativity according to the unanimous opinion of scientists considered the most important achievement in English literature of the period, which is commonly called the "High or Mature Middle Ages". In the era when the remarkable classic of English literature lived and worked, the formation of a truly English culture took place. Chaucer is considered one of the founders of the English poetic language, the founder literary traditions of this country. Of course, the development process literature was complex; Chaucer couldnt help but lean on his predecessors. And since in the native culture there are examples worthy of there was practically no imitation, the poet borrowed poetics, traditions, plots from the ancient classics - the creators of the ancient time. Chaucers main work, The Canterbury Tales, is popular today. It is included in the study programs as English, and foreign literature. To the study of this work in different ways time, many literary scholars have addressed. Thats why we can safely talk about the relevance of the "Canterbury Tales", and thats why I choose this piece for research in his term paper. The value of the work is to study England of the XIV century through the work The Canterbray Tales and Geoffrey Chaucers work in general. In connection with the purpose of research, I set myself the following tasks: - to analyze the specifics of medieval society; - define the role and importance of Geoffrey Chaucer in English literature; - to follow the authors writing system; - study the work "The Canterbury Tales" Chaucer began his literary career under the influence of a medieval French literature which included satires, romances, fabliaux, and such contemporary poets as Deschamps, Machaut, and Froissart. Under French influence he began his translation of the Romance of the Rose, and more important, produced his first ambitious original poem, The Book of the Duchess (1369). This is an elegy on the death of Blanche, the wife of Chaucers patron John of Gaunt, written in the form and manner of contemporary French poets, and with considerable borrowing from them. But already in this poem, as in the other dream-allegories that followed, there are distinctive marks of Chaucers individual genius the use of the setting to intensify the dreamlike mood of the poem, the sense of immediacy in the portrait of the bereaved knight, and the characteristic flashes of psychological insight. With remarkable originality and tact, Chaucer made himself merely a well-meaning but obtuse listener and put the praise of Blanche into the mouth of her husband. The Italian period (1373-1385): In 1372-1373 Chaucer went to ltaly (probably for the first time) to arrange a commercial treaty with the Genoese. This journey reinforced by another visit to ltaly in 1378, had a tremendous effect on Chaucer. Dante, dead for half a century, was already a classic, and Petrarch and Boccaccio were nearing the end of their literary careers. Chaucer draw heavily on the works of these men for the rest of his life; they taught him to understand the importance of narrative structure and technique, to individualize his characters and give them dramatic intensity, and to seek the rhythms and idioms of popular speech. Thus the poems of Chaucers Italian period show progress in his mastery of rhetoric, technique, style, and meter. The House of Fame (1374-1380), The Parliament of Fowls (1377-1386), and The Legend of Good Women (1380-1386) are still dream-allegories containing many of the old familiar features of this French literary type, but Chaucer breaks with the conventional patterns by his broader range of ideas his greater subtlety of characterization, and his attitude of humorous detachment. In The House of Fame the poet is carried by an eagle to the House of Fame, where he is to hear important tidings of love. The poem breaks off just as these tidings are about to be announced, but the ostensible purpose of the poem could hardly have ben as rewarding as the comic characterization of the learned, vivacious, and somewhat pedantic eagle. The Parliament of Fowls tells how the birds assemble on St. Valentines day to choose their mates, and the courtly and chivalrous eagles, platitudinous goose, common-sense duck, romantic dove, and jibing cuckoo are masterpieces of comic satire. The Legend of Good Women ("Legend of Cupids Saints") has a remarkably fresh and original prologue telling how Chaucer came to write a set of accounts of women who--whatever their other failings--were faithful in love even unto death. Chaucer left it unfinished, and it is not hard to see why. It calls for too much repetition of what is essentially the same story, and the poet admits at one point that he is fed up with writing about these melancholy jilted females. The great masterpiece of Chaucers Italian period, however, is Troilus and Criseyde, an amazingly rich and original work in spite of the fact that it is based on a narrative poem by Boccaccio and follows the well worn conventions of courtly love. The aim of the work is to determine the genre originality of the Canterbury Tales by G. Chaucer. In connection with the purpose of the study, we set ourselves the following tasks: -Consider the concept of genre in literary theory; -To generalize the current level of the problem of the genre specificity of the Canterbury Tales by G. Chaucer; -Highlight the genre features of the short story and the knightly novel in the "Canterbury Tales"; The actuality of this work is due to an attempt to systematize the existing concepts of the genre originality of the "Canterbury Tales", as well as an attempt to consider this problem in the light of the achievements of modern literary criticism. The scientific novelty of the work is due to the lack of special works devoted to this problem.
CHAPTER 1. Forebears and Early Years. 1.1. Autobiography of Chaucer Chaucer’s ancestors were middle-class Englishmen whose relations with London and the judiciary were constantly expanding for at least four periods. John Chaucer, his father, was a vital London winemaker and agent of the royal butler; In 1338 it was owned by Edward III in Antwerp, Flanders, present-day Belgium, and he owned property in Ipswich, the province of Suffolk, and London. He kicked the bucket in 1366 or 1367 at the age of 53. The name chaucer is derived from the French word chaussier, which means shoe maker. The family’s money-winning victory was determined by wine and calfskin. Jeffrey Choser is often referred to as the “father of English literature” and he is privileged to be the first great English comedian and realist. He was born in about 1340 in the home of a successful wine importer who was in contact with the royal court in London and hoped for a Courtier career for his son. Chaucer’s father managed to place his son as a pageant in the house of Elizabeth the Count of Ulster, the third son of Edward III, the wife of the Duke Lionel. When Chaucer was about 15, he was in France as a squire, on a military operation in which he was taken prisoner. The King paid 16 pounds towards his ransom. He held a number of positions at Court and in the King’s service, and travelled abroad on numerous diplomatic missions. When 25 he accompanied John of Gaunt (the King’s fourth son) an a raid in Picardy (N. France) Then in 1372 Chaucer went on a more important and very significant journey to Italy. The purpose of the visit was to negotiate with the Doge of Genoa a port of entry in England for Genoese merchants. He went to Florence on the King’s business and probably other places – he is reported to have met Petrarch in Padua. Italian literature took its place as a major influence on Chaucer’s developing art: several parts of the Canterbury Tales have their origins in Boccaccio’s work, whom he might also have visited. After that, Chaucer moved from Westminster to the city, where he became a wool, leather and leather customs inspector at the Port of London. His ties with the John Gaunt family were particularly strong, as his wifes sister became the dukes third wife in 1396. Chaucer probably knew John Gaunt from his childhood. They were more or less old. Blanche, the first wife of John Gaunt, died in 1368, and Chaucer soon wrote his first major poem in his honor, the Dutch boke. Because John Blanche is so tightly bound, the poem is designed to please him. In 1382 he was appointed a small customs inspector for wine and other goods, and in 1385 for wool; he was appointed Member of Parliament as Kent Shire Knight. In 1386, he lost his job due to changes in the administration of Richard III, nephew of the new young king, John Gaunt. After Choser’s wife died, the poet began to dedicate himself and the rest of his life to organizing and completing Canterbury tales. The last year of his life was spent in a new house near Westminster Abbey, where he died on October 25, 1400, and was buried in the Poets Corner. Thus, during the reigns of Edward III, Richard II, and Henry IV, he served as a soldier, court official, diplomat, civil administrator, and translator of books into English, helping him to create the language more than any other writer. In spite of the fact that c. 1340 is generally given as Chaucer’s birth date, 1342 or 1343 is likely a closer figure. No data exists concerning his early instruction, in spite of the fact that without a doubt he would have been as familiar in French as within the Center English of his time. He too got to be competent in Latin and Italian. His compositions appear his near nature with numerous critical books of his time and of earlier times. Chaucer to begin with shows up within the records in 1357, as a part of the family of Elizabeth, lady of Ulster, spouse of Lionel, third child of Edward III. Geoffrey’s father apparently had been able to put him among the bunch of youthful men and ladies serving in that regal family, a standard course of action whereby families who might do so given their children with opportunity for the vital dignified instruction and associations to progress their careers. By 1359 Chaucer was a part of Edward III’s armed force in France and was captured amid the unsuccessful attack of Reims. The ruler contributed to his deliver, and Chaucer served as delivery person from Calais to Britain amid the peace arrangements of 1360. Chaucer does not show up in any modern record amid 1361–65. He was likely within the king’s benefit, but he may have been examining law—not abnormal arrangement for open benefit, at that point as now—since a 16th-century report suggests that, whereas so locked in, he was fined for beating a Franciscan monk in a London road. On February 22, 1366, the lord of Navarre issued a certificate of safe-conduct for Chaucer, three companions, and their workers to enter Spain. This event is the primary of a number of discretionary missions to the landmass of Europe over the succeeding 10 a long time, and the wording of the record recommends that here Chaucer served as “chief of mission.” ...
Conclusion. In this course work, we examined the artistic Geoffrey Chaucers The Canterbury Tales studied the phenomenon of genre originality to a certain extent works, analyzed the time in which this was written work, appreciated the contribution of Geoffrey Chaucer to English literature XIV century and into the creation of the traditional English written language. The merits of Chaucer in the history of English literature and language are very are great. He was the first among the British to give examples of truly artistic poetry, where taste, sense of proportion, elegance of form and verse, the hand of the artist is visible everywhere, controlling his images, and not obeying them, as was often the case with medieval poets; everywhere you can see a critical attitude to the plots and characters. In works Chaucer already has all the main features of the English national poetry: a wealth of fantasy combined with common sense, humor, observation, the ability to bright characteristics, a tendency to detailed descriptions, love for contrasts, in a word, everything that later we meet in an even more perfect form in Shakespeare, Fielding, Dickens and other great British writers. He gave completeness of English verse and brought to a high degree of elegance literary language. Regarding the purity of speech, he always showed special care and, not trusting the scribes, always looked through personal lists of his compositions. In the creation of a literary language, he showed great moderation and common sense, rarely used neologisms and, not trying to revive obsolete expressions, he used only those words that have come into general use. Shine and beauty which he communicated to the English language, delivered to the latter an honorary place among other literary languages of Europe; after Chaucer adverbs have lost all significance in the literature. Chaucer was the first to start write in their native language and prose, not in Latin. He uses here national language consciously, in order to express better and more accurately their thoughts, as well as out of patriotic feeling. Chaucers worldview completely imbued with the pagan spirit and cheerfulness of the era Renaissance; only some medieval features and expressions like "St. Venus", which, however, come across in earlier works Chaucer, testify to the fact that he was not yet completely freed from medieval views and confusion of concepts. On the other side, some of his thoughts on nobility, on the upbringing of children, on war, charac terego patriotism, alien to any national exclusivity would do honor even to a man of the 21st century.
