Chaucer is praised by many a critic for his authenticity at the art of writing. John Dryden calls him "the father of English literature". He was the precursor of an English literary tradition as he made use of the rhyming decasyllabic couplet, recreating the convention of medieval poetry strongly influenced by poets of his time such as Boccaccio, Petrarch and so on.
