Question: 1 / 20

What author wrote "The Canterbury Tales"?

Geoffrey Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer is the correct author who wrote "The Canterbury Tales". This is considered one of the greatest works in the English language and is a significant piece of literature from the Middle Ages. William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Ernest Hemingway are all notable authors but none of them wrote "The Canterbury Tales." Shakespeare is known for his plays such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet," Austen for her novels like "Pride and Prejudice," and Hemingway for his works like "The Old Man and the Sea." Therefore, they are not the correct options for this question. Choosing them as the answer could possibly be a result of confusing "The Canterbury Tales" with some other famous works of these authors.

William Shakespeare

Jane Austen

Ernest Hemingway
