Welcome to Celebrate Creativity - Chaucer -Not Just Paperwork
Before Shakespeare, before Austen…even before Milton, there was Jeffrey Chaucer. Boldly writing in English when most of the literary world preferred Latin or French. Imagine that audacity!"
Cue pause: 1 second, let the audience absorb “audacity.”
“The English language just wasn’t considered worthy of literature, and here was, Jeffrey Chaucer giving the English language - life, color, and humor.”
Fireflies harp
"Chaucer didn’t just write stories—he invented a whole way of telling them. And the people he created? Funny, scandalous, and strangely familiar. Some things really don’t change."
"So, Chaucer wasn’t just funny—he was innovative. Let’s talk about his life and how he took English from everyday speech to literary gold.”
