Geoffrey Chaucer: Father of English Literature

Geoffrey Chaucer is perhaps medieval England’s most famous writer and poet. Now a new exhibition at the Bodleian Library in Oxford is setting out to give him greater breadth and depth than just The Canterbury Tales. 

To talk more about the ‘Father of English Literature’ with Matt Lewis is its curator Professor Marion Turner.
