Abstract :
The present article studies the common themes in Roudaki and Chaucer's poetry separately and through comparison.They poets 1 ived in a time full of unrest and that's \vh: happiness and joy can be seen in their poetry. One other theme which they both have mentioned is death. Roudaki and Chaucer hax e had great impact on the poets after them. Roudakis impact has been extended to the present day while Chaucer's impact did not extend for more than three hundred years.Both poets composed eulogies which were so effective One of the differences between these poets is their language. Roudakis language is still understandable for Persian speakers after thousand years but Chaucer's language is not so and should be translated for todays generation.
