Samuel Neil's "Epoch Men, and the Results of Their Lives" is a historical rewriting of a classic about historical men and women who helped shape the culture as well as the knowledge base of our present civilization. The book has been deemed as an important artifact for the preservation of old knowledge.

In the given excerpt from the book, the author Neil presents the famed Geoffrey Chaucer as someone who is instrumental in the development and emergence of the English language. To him, Chaucer "issued the "coinage of his brain" in the despised vernacular of actual life; broke the Latin moulds and the French dies in which language was then cast or pressed; and touched with everlasting nationality the form and substance of our English speech." This, according to the author, made Chaucer so instrumental in how the English language came to be formed.
