Software Design and Architecture: Key Concepts and Practices
Understanding Diversification in Software Projects

Geoffrey Chaucer (ca. 1343-1400)
Chaucer’s Works
It was once customary to divide Chaucer’s literary career into three periods:
- The French period (to 1372)
- The Italian period (to 1385)
- The English period (to 1400)
This categorization should not be taken as watertight; it is valid for didactic purposes. The courtly lyrics Chaucer wrote in the manner of contemporaneous French poets might well be mentioned first, although there is no way of dating most of these little poems. They present to us the familiar
