Here is your answer,
=========================================
Chaucer symbolizes, as no other writer does, the Middle Ages.
He stands in much the same relation to the life of his time as Alexander Pope does to the 18th century and Tennyson to the Victorian era.
Chaucer's place in English literature is more important than theirs.
One of the reasons Chaucer is so important is that he made the decision to write in English and not French.
In the centuries following the Norman invasion, French was the language spoken by those in power.
The Canterbury Tales was one of the first major works in literature written in English.
==========================================
HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)
