Geoffrey Chaucer Hath A Blog is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a blog purporting to be written by Geoffrey Chaucer. Beginning as a one-off joke, it eventually developed a measure of continuity as well as a small but devoted following. The blog is pretty quiet these days, but Chaucer is still active on Twitter.Its true author, long pseudonymous, eventually revealed himself as Brantley Bryant, a professor of English at Sonoma State University. | |

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Blog) / int_17501df2 | comment |
Cool Old Guy: John of Gaunt, if one accepts Lowys as being Geoffrey's son who was born around 1380, and Chaucer gave him the astrolabe book when he was ten. John, born in 1340 and pushing fifty by that time, gave Lowys the Exboxe CCCLX for his birthday (which sadly meant Geoffrey's book went neglected). | |

Anachronism Stew | |
Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Blog) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Inherent in the very concept; the blog remains rather vague about exactly how Chaucer is posting on the internet. It's also a common source of jokes; e.g., from almost the beginning, Chaucer complains about his son Lowys's "Exboxe CCCLX". | |

Viewers Are Geniuses | |
Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Blog) / int_641cf81d | comment |
Viewers Are Geniuses: The blog is written entirely in Middle English (except for Lowys's occasional contributions and the speech of a few other minor characters such as Griselda Mars, Girl Detective), albeit with quite a few neologisms as required for the blog's degree of anachronism. | |

Present-Day Past | |
Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Blog) / int_82a631b8 | comment |
Present-Day Past: Parodied. In Chaucer's first outline of The Canterbury Tales, he claims that "The Knight's Tale" will be "a trewe tale that captureth the reale and authentic historicale feele of the culture and societee of Ancient Greece wythout eny imposicioun of ower current cultural standards," including "ancient Greek courtlie love, ancient Greek tournamentz, and ancient Greek Boethian meditaciouns on the universe." | |

Homage | |
Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Blog) / int_a1a1491e | comment |
Homage: Very common. The first post to get much internet attention was a Brokeback Mountain homage (involving Chaucer and the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight), and more followed. | |

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Blog) / int_aa42306e | comment |
Totally Radical: At one point, the Lords Appellant take over the blog and rebrand it as ''Geoffrey Chaucer Hath an Extreme Blog! Go England! It Is Rad!"note Chaucer likely put a stop to this by appealing to Bolingbroke, one of said Lords Appellant, who was John of Gaunt's son (and Chaucer's nephew-in-law), and who would become king Henry IV later on. | |

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Blog) / int_ef2fcbe1 | comment |
Le Film Artistique: Referenced in the parliament saga; one of the king's talking points about the coming French invasion is "The Frensshe shal turne alle of our filmes in to non-linear meditaciouns on lyf and deeth both insouciant and weightie." | |
