This is a copy of decameron. Chaucer's masterpiece The Tales of Canterbury imitates Boccaccio's decameron and constructs the whole story in a frame. The author of the story collection not only draws lessons from the traditional European narrative framework structure, but also innovates, forming a unique narrative feature.
Chaucer wrote in the vibrant London dialect, which also laid the foundation for the English literary language. His heroic couplets were widely used by later English poets, so Chaucer was known as "the father of English poetry".
