Widely seen as the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages, he is best known for The Canterbury Tales.
Chaucer has been styled the “Father of English literature”. … Among Chaucer’s many other works are The Book of the Duchess, The House of Fame, The Legend of Good Women, and Troilus and Criseyde.
The Book of duches is the right ans
I think he was well known for his great writing THE CANTERBURY TALES.And this is his first book.
According to me the first major work which get much recognition is the book of dutches
The answer is wrong because The Canterbury Tales is not his FIRST major work. Although it it is his major work for which he is best known but the question is first major work not major work. So, the correct answer is The book of Duchess
