A translatory, diplomat, and customs official as well as a poet, Chaucer is most famous for The Canterbury Tales, written in the late fourteenth century and composed partly of narratives that Chaucer adapted or even appropriated from Boccaccio's Decameron. Chaucer's many other works include The Legend of Good Women (c. 1386), which collects tales primarily from Ovid and Boccaccio; Troilus and Criseyde (c. 1386), an extended narrative poem adapted from Boccaccio's Il Filostrato relating a dark story of ill-fated love during the Trojan War; and three dream vision poems, The Book of the Duchess (written c. 1370), The House of Fame (c. 1380), and The Parliament of Fowls (c. 1380). Chaucer also authored a number of shorter works, some comic, others lyrical, and a prose Treatise on the Astrolabe. His most important translations include The Romance of the Rose and Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy.
