Chaucer's contribution to English poetry lies chiefly in the fact that he introduced from France the rhymed stanzas of various types,especially the rhymed couplet of iambic pentametre(to be called later the "heroic couplet"to English poetry,instead of the old Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse.
Though drawing influences from French,Italian and Latin models,he is the first great poet who wrote in the current English language.His production of so much excellent poetry was an important factor in establishing English as the literary language of the country.The spoken English of the time consisted of several dialects,and Chaucer did much in making the dialect of London the foundation for modern English speech
Chaucer develops his characterization to a higher artistic level by presenting characters with both typical qualities and individual dispositions.
He anticipated a new era, the Renaissance, to come under the influence of the Italian writers.
