CHAUCER KE BARE ME
Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343 – 1400) ek pramukh Angrezi kavi aur lekhak the, jinhone apne samay ke samajik aur sanskritik jeevan ko apne rachnaon mein prastut kiya. Unhe "English literature ka pita" bhi kaha jata hai. Chaucer ka sabse prasiddh karya "The Canterbury Tales" hai, jo ek kahani sangrah hai jismein alag-alag patra apne safar ke dauran kahaniyan sunate hain.
Karya: Chaucer ne kai prakar ki rachnayein likhi, jaise ki kavita, kahaniyan, aur vyangya. Unka "The Canterbury Tales" unki sabse prasiddh rachna hai, jismein 24 kahaniyan hain jo alag-alag patraon ke nazariye se prastut ki gayi hain.
Bhasha: Chaucer ne apne samay ki angrezi bhasha ka istemal kiya, jo us samay ke liye ek naya aur anokha prayog tha. Unhone apne kavitayon mein Anglo-Norman aur Latin ka bhi istemal kiya, lekin unki bhasha ne angrezi sahitya ko ek naya roop diya.
Samajik Chintan: Chaucer ki rachnayein samajik vyavastha, dharmik prathaon, aur manav manasikta par prabhavit hoti hain. Unhone apne patraon ke madhyam se samajik vyavastha ki samasyaon ko ujagar kiya.
Prabhav: Chaucer ka prabhav angrezi sahitya par bahut gehra raha. Unki rachnayein baad ke kai kavi aur lekhakon ke liye prerna ka srot bani, jaise ki William Shakespeare aur John Milton.
Chaucer ki virasat aaj bhi angrezi sahitya mein mahatvapurn hai, aur unki rachnayein vishv bhar mein padhai jaati hain.
