Who wrote the first known poem in English?

  1. Geoffrey Chaucer

  2. Dante

  3. Homer

  4. Caedmon

The correct answer is: Caedmon

Caedmon is the first known poet to write in Old English, specifically Northumbrian English. The other options, although brilliant poets in their own right, wrote in other languages or dialects. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote in Middle English, Dante in Italian, and Homer in Ancient Greek. Therefore, Caedmon is the most appropriate and accurate answer to this question.
