Who's the father of your mother tongue?

who this?

Miguel de Cervantes. He was a marrano.

didn't know he was a jew
isn't it mandatory to study him in school? Here Dante and Manzoni (who are the two fathers of the italian language) are obligatory in every high school to study.

It's mandatory to study Shakespeare here at a high school level, but not Chaucer. I don't really know why, I guess it could be that Shakespeare's stuff still holds up because it was pretty ahead of its time in regards to political commentary and the like. Whereas stuff like the Canterbury Tales just aren't as interesting to a modern audience,

pbuh

in college we read chaucer but college english classes are so bullshit that nobody does anything but still passes because the expectations are so high and thus the grading curve is also very high

I literally did not hand in one of the 3 papers required that I was told to revise, and she passed me with a B+

fuck chaucer by the way, fuck him in the ass with a bayonet

I studied Chaucer in A-Level English lit.

I live among my kind. It truly fits what I see around me, spaniards are too dumb to make something that is slightly mentally challenging, makes sense the dude was jewish.

>Chaucer
>thinking that Decameron-stealing brit could actually create a language when he couldn't even make his own storylines
Shakespear is believed to have crafted hundreds of words still used today on his own, he's literally the only relevant poet from the UK. Was you english teacher a direct descendant of his or something? Because in normal high schools Chaucer doesn't get more than a couple of lessons at most

t. high school in scampia

nah i actually went to a fairly posh school (in the south tho, i'll give you that), it's just that there's tens of masterpieces written by Shakespeare and a years' worth of english classes isn't enough to analyze one. My teacher just preferred to stick to interesting plots instead of a trite story about people telling stories, it's just a cheap escamotage to have a loosely tied short novels in a single book

>not posting Antonio de Nebrija
you had one job

Well yeah, but who took English lit at A level that wasn't a massive tosser?

Who is this?

>this tbqh
i took the Leaving Cert in Ireland which works kind of the same way and there wasn't a single person in Higher Level English that wasn't a pretentious cunt.
It's just a massive amount of work for little to no use, there's plenty of other subjects to steal points from if you need more marks to get into uni

Yeah. Big mistake. Had to read feminist bullshit mostly

French doesn't really have a father. The first time it was attested in written form was in 842 at the Oaths of Strasbourg, an oath between the Frankish kings of West and East Francia. But priests were apparently forced to preach in Old French at the first Council of Tours in 813.
Early French literature includes chanson de geste and littérature courtoise, predecessors to Medieval heroic literature like the Arthurian and Carolingian cycles.

>who's John Milton

All that is known is that he was born in a castillian city, no images exist of the guy.

He was baptized catholic, as were his parents I believe

a nice poet who was in no way comparable to Dante,Shakespeare or Cervantes regarding the way that they defined our storytelling and language
